British Columbians are invited to provide input about employment standards that should be in place to support app-based ride-hailing and food-delivery workers.

Amendments to the Workers Compensation Act will better support workers in British Columbia.

A series of regional in-person roundtables will be scheduled to hear directly from gig workers about their jobs and working conditions, and the unique challenges for app-based ride-hailing and delivery workers in B.C.

Changes to employment standards will better protect young people by outlining the types of work that are suitable for those aged 16 to 18.

Premier John Horgan and Harry Bains, Minister of Labour, have issued the following joint statement marking Labour Day:

British Columbians are invited to provide feedback on what types of work are too hazardous to be done by youth under age 16, and in some cases, under 19.

Amendments to B.C.’s Employment Standards Act will strengthen paid sick leave legislation to protect workers and simplify the administrative process for businesses.
