The Ottawa ECA is asking for your assistance in petitioning the City of Ottawa to develop a “Fair Wage Policy”.
I/We the undersigned, petition the Mayor, Ottawa City Council, and the City of Ottawa as follows:
A Fair Wage Policy will help to protect against awarding construction contracts to contractors whose competitive advantage is based on exploiting pools of vulnerable labour, improperly styling workers as sub-contractors to evade payroll and labour standards obligations, and cutting corners on training, health and safety. A Fair Wage Policy helps foster a level playing field for legitimate contractors—both union and non-union. It encourages competition based on productivity, efficiency and quality. It helps to protect good-paying jobs for local people, and to prevent a race to the bottom. Therefore, we ask that City of Ottawa construction projects above $1.5 million in value have a strong Fair Wage Policy applied to them, and that this policy comes into force not later than the end of 2027.
PLEASE NOTE: By providing your email address, phone number you agree that the petition organizers may occasionally contact you to update you on the campaign’s progress. You can unsubscribe at any time. Information contained in this form, including your full name, will form part of the public record and will be publicly accessible. Correspondence, including personal and contact information, will be distributed to the offices of Members of Council and relevant City officials and staff. The use of your personal contact information is subject to applicable requirements under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and City policies including the Election-Related Resources Policy. The City collects petition forms submitted by members of the public under the authority of the City Council approved Petition Policy and retains and preserves the information as a public record of information considered at meetings of Council and its committees, pursuant to the Municipal Act, 2001, sections 253 and 254.
