All workers deserve to earn a living wage! Our study looks at retail workers and long-term care workers during the pandemic - are they earning a living wage? Consider participating in our research: https://t.co/41cbDv8wrJ @CBCNS @NS_Labour @fightfor15hfx

[CCPA-NS @CCPANS]

Those we need the most are likely the ones being paid the least.

We really do need to question what kind of society we want to live in.

Our study asks long term care workers and retail workers if they launder their work clothes after working and other safety questions. If you work in these sectors in Nova Scotia, please participate in our study: https://t.co/41cbDv8wrJ

[Workers Health & Safety Centre @WHSCtraining]

DID YOU KNOW? All workers should launder their work wear daily. If work wear cannot be cleaned right away, it should be stored until it can be laundered. 👕

A young retail worker in Ottawa has COVID-19. Gibson tweeted “I have done literally all that I can to avoid it ... Just a reminder that retail workers, minimum wage employees and all sorts of folks are not necessarily working because they want to, but because they have to."

[Worker Well-Being NS Study @well_ns]

@stephwhite_7 @FranklyLess That's a good point @stephwhite_7 - there are lots of groups of workers that we could have studied and we had a hard time picking only 3 groups ... maybe our next project :)
