Peterborough labour groups say Ontario minimum wage increase to $15/hr is too little, too late
Description
November 2, 2021
The long-rumoured $15-an-hour minimum wage in Ontario comes into effect next year, raising a full-time worker's yearly earnings by $1,350.
Though Peterborough workers, advocates, and labour organizations have long been pushing for an increase in minimum wages, some say this increase is too little too late.
