About this listen

On this third episode of Short Circuit hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon take a look at the state of labour in Ontario in the run up to the June 2nd provincial election. We begin with a visit to the University of Toronto where frontline service workers are fighting against the contracting out of secure, unionized public sector jobs.

We then head to the Worker's Action Centre in Toronto where executive director Deena Ladd walks us through some of their strategies employed at WAC as well as the Justice for Workers campaign. Finally, we speak to Jennifer Scott, president of Gig Workers United, an organization of app-based workers fighting for union recognition and decent work in Ontario.

This episode was produced by Eric Wickham of Big Shiny Takes (Twitter: @ES_Wickham) with theme music from Alex from Haus of Decline (Twitter: @hausofdecline).
