A unionised workplace and collective agreement go a long way to ensuring workers have not only a fair say in how their workplace operates, but also protections and benefits. In the absence of those protections, workers still have minimum protections under BC’s Employment Standards Act (ESA).

If you believe your employer has not met these minimum standards, phone the Employment Standards Branch at 1-800-663-3316 or visit the website at www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb.
