Title: The other shoe | Carol Matthews These Days

URL: http://carolmatthews.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-other-shoe.html?m=0

Description: When the first shoe thudded down, we all shuttered ourselves in our homes, hoarding toilet paper, flour and yeast, and trying to adhere to the Stage One guidelines. When Stage Two was announced, things eased up considerably as we expanded our bubbles, shopped more, and went, if somewhat nervously, to restaurants. Now we are in Stage Three, which feels as though we are getting back to normal. And we should be hopeful; we have flattened the curve, but we may have to wait for a while.

This plan sets out the proposed dimensions of this balancing act based on hitting a “sweet spot” using dynamic modelling based on BC data – moving from the current targeted lockdown restrictions resulting in approximately 30% of normal social interaction, toward a sustainable 60% of social interaction, with restated levels of targeted restrictions

Title: An equitable recovery: The case for paid sick leave as a right of employment in BC | BC Federation of Labour

URL: https://bcfed.ca/paidsickleavenow/

Description: In much of the world, the idea that workers should have to choose between going to work sick or losing a badly-needed paycheque is absurd. Yet in British Columbia, that’s the choice faced by sick workers every day — because most BC workers don’t have access to paid sick leave.

Title: [Full report] An equitable recovery: The case for paid sick leave as a right of employment in BC | BC Federation of Labour

URL: https://bcfed.ca/sites/default/files/attachments/AN%20EQUITABLE%20RECOVERY.%20BCFED.%20FINAL.pdf

Description: In May 2021, the BC government responded to public calls led by the labour movement and legislated a permanent paid sick leave program to begin in January 2022 under the Employment Standards Act. The province is now consulting with the public as well as business over how that program will work: including qualifying requirements, benefit levels and funding. This report is our contribution to that discussion. We’ve looked at the evidence from BC and elsewhere, drawing on public health, economic and other published literature, as well as the real-life experience of programs in jurisdictions around the world. This research and experience confirm that paid sick leave should be a right of employment for all workers—one that protects society from broader contagion and illness, and benefits and helps not only workers and their families, but businesses of all sizes as well.
