Workers talking about fixing one of Canada’s most important social programs. EI should be designed for workers not to punish them for being unemployed, underemployed or just stuck with a bad boss. #BuildBetterEI. Also our members are rockstars. Give a listen. #cdnpoli #canlab

Thanks for your time and questions today @PLawrenceMP and @BradleyVis! It was good to talk about solutions to better support workers including parents needing to access the EI system. #Unifor #BuildBetterEI

It was a pleasure to be joined by @BradleyVis to meet with @UniforTheUnion. We discussed the importance of creating well-paying jobs for all Canadians and changes to EI during the pandemic.

Thanks for meeting with us to talk about EI, @theJagmeetSingh. Canada's income support programs need a serious fix to better support workers in this current crisis and for the long run. https://t.co/Cb0reGyBez #canlab #Unifor #buildbetterEI

There is no time to waste when it comes to fixing EI. Workers across the country are running out of benefits and running into barriers with the program. https://t.co/R29JTWAYEq #Unifor #BuildBetterEI #canlab

Please sign and retweet EI only works when unemployed people can access it, but before COVID, only 40% of unemployed people were eligible. It’s time to #BuildBetterEI. https://t.co/SNMun5VxdH #onted #osstf

Among many other recommendations, #BuildBetterEI includes: Immediately undertake a comprehensive, multi-stakeholder consultation on the expansion of EI coverage, and financing of EI benefits, to include self-employed, freelancers, independent contractors, and “gig” workers.

@JimboStanford Thank you Jim. I can’t believe I have been at this for almost 30 years. All of those years of activism by so many leading to this: a moment to #buildbetterEI #canlab The fight continues.

Stephen Harper's Conservative government took workers' money out of Employment Insurance to balance the budget - we haven't forgotten, says @JerryPDias - now's the time to #BuildBetterEI
