OTTAWA, Jan. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — \u201cEven as the vaccine roll-out begins, we can see that the tough times aren\u2019t behind us yet,\u201d said Canadian Labour Congress President Hassan Yussuff. \u201cThe end-of-year unemployment data remind us that strong government support continues to be a vital lifeline for workers and their families who are struggling through the economic shock of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The December Labour Force Survey, released today by Statistics Canada, shows higher than expected job losses last month. Unemployment rose to 8.6 percent, with employment down 63,000 and job-market participation dropping for the second month in a row.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are unprecedented times. The important public health precautions implemented over the past year have had an exceptionally hard impact on workers,\u201d said Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress. \u201cWorkers in Canada need to know that when the virus is contained, they can count on decent jobs, with good wages, and adequate benefits to help their families bounce back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Facing another round of shutdowns as COVID numbers rise, many workers across the country worried that their financial forecast is getting bleaker. Recent reports have revealed stories of personal support workers checking into homeless shelters and other workers failing to claim the federal government\u2019s sick leave program out of fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting in Canada\u2019s workers is a direct investment in our economy and it is vital to an economic recovery. The federal government must remain focused on income support and assistance to ensure that workers\u2019 jobs are protected,\u201d said Yussuff. \u201cAs we invest in a healthy recovery, Canada must also prepare for the long-term future by disaster-proofing our economy so that we are ready when the next crisis hits.\u201d<\/p>\n
