In exchange, Uber proposes rules requiring it and other gig companies to provide \u201cself-directed benefits\u201d to their drivers based on hours worked and certain unspecified additional safety training and tools. These changes would deny gig workers core protections afforded to employees in Ontario like the minimum wage and overtime pay, as well as the reimbursement of expenses to ensure that their wages meet these minimum standards. Uber\u2019s proposal is part of its campaign to export new rules around the world modelled after <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/California_Proposition_22,_App-Based_Drivers_as_Contractors_and_Labor_Policies_Initiative_(2020)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 22<\/a>, the California ballot initiative on which Uber and other gig employers spent upwards of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/carolineodonovan\/uber-lyft-proposition-22-workers-rights\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">$224 million USD<\/a> to take away employment status from gig workers in California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis U.S.-style campaign to take away workers\u2019 rights must be rejected,\u201d said Patty Coates, Ontario Federation of Labour President. \u201cGig workers deserve the same rights and protections as all other employees in Ontario.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uber has suggested that it needs its requested exemptions in order to provide the benefits it proposes, but this insinuation is not correct.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Uber wanted to provide its drivers with benefits or enhanced training it could do so right now,\u201d explained Coates. \u201cInstead, Uber is using the promise of these modest benefits as a political trade-off for critical workplace rights and carving its drivers out of basic employment protections forever. It\u2019s a false choice that must be rejected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Uber\u2019s proposal arises in the context of an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ufcw.ca\/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=32679:toronto-uber-drivers-one-step-closer-to-unionizing&amp;catid=10172&amp;Itemid=6&amp;lang=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ongoing application for certification at the Ontario Labour Relations Board<\/a> for its Uber Black limousine and SUV drivers working in and out of Toronto Pearson International Airport and downtown Toronto, and after the Supreme Court of Canada <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/business\/2020\/06\/26\/supreme-court-of-canadas-ruling-paves-the-way-for-400m-class-action-lawsuit-by-ontario-uber-drivers.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ruled last June<\/a> that Uber\u2019s mandatory arbitration clause should be struck down and could not be used to prevent the plaintiff in a proposed $400 million employment class action from pursuing his case on behalf of its drivers across the Province of Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUber drivers and other gig workers in Ontario are fighting for their right to unionize and to receive the same protections under the law as other employees,\u201d said Coates. \u201cThe OFL rejects Uber\u2019s attempts to undermine these struggles with backroom deals to carve gig workers out of core protections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The OFL is also calling on the Government of Ontario to take action to proactively enforce gig workers\u2019 rights under the <em>ESA<\/em>, and to clarify their status as employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGig workers need the government to protect their rights as employees, not legislate them away,\u201d said Coates. \u201cThe Ontario Government should enforce the laws already on the books to protect gig workers, and should follow the lead of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-56123668\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">courts<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ctvnews.ca\/business\/gig-economy-shifts-spain-makes-delivery-riders-employees-1.5343005\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">governments<\/a> around the world and confirm that gig workers are employees and entitled to basic employment protections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>The Ontario Federation of Labour<\/strong>\u00a0represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario.
