The Manitoba government has once again failed to support low-income workers: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/minimum-wage-manitoba-1.6555185 We needed $15/hr in 2018. In 2020, we needed $16.15/hr. CCPA MB will soon be releasing what a 2022 living wage should be. It is safe to assume it will be higher. Meanwhile businesses were given supports during the pandemic and will now receive more support to implement what is not even the bare minimum. The government should supply this support because for far too long they supported the rights of business owners to determine what they deem to be an acceptable level of profit over their workers' right to the basic necessities of life. Had successive governments told business that they must fairly compensate their workers than perhaps more would have worked it into their business plans. In the short-term the government must fill this gap. In the long-term, governments need to implement living wage legislation. Please check out this excellent CCPA BC report on the case for a minimum wage that is actually something one can live on: policyalternatives.ca/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/BC%20Office/2015/04/CCPA-BC-Case-f...Dilbert gets it. ...
