86.2 Equal Benefits for Part Time Work
Whereas, There exist in the workforce many employees who will never attain full employment, either by choice or because of barriers to their participation;
Whereas, Part-time workers have become the fastest growing segment of the labour force; and
Whereas, Part-time workers usually receive considerably fewer benefits than full-time workers; therefore be it,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Government of Canada to ensure that the regulations of the Canada Labour Code provide part-time workers with the same protection, rights, and benefits (on a prorated basis) as those now guaranteed to full-time workers; and further,
RESOLVED, That The National Council of Women of Canada urge the Provincial Councils of Women to urge their respective governments to amend their provincial Labour Standards Legislation to ensure that part-time workers receive the same protection, rights, and benefits (on a pro-rated basis) as those now guaranteed to full-time workers.
