Ford Promises ‘You Will Not Lose Your Job’ During COVID-19 Crisis

“We need to support the workers affected by this. A lot of people can work from home, but we need to protect the people working the line or on shift work, who don’t have that luxury,” Ford said at Queen’s Park.

Employers will not have to pay staff who take time off, McNaughton said, adding that those employees could be covered through federal Employment Insurance. Finance Minister Rod Phillips said he would postpone the release of the government’s annual budget until as late as the fall. It was supposed to come out next week.

We've heard this lie before !!!

I hope he does better at this then the autism file or the license plate redesign....

Um restaurants and other businesses have already closed, jobs already lost. My boyfriend and coworkers laid off today. You cannot make this promise. You can provide basic income to keep everyone afloat

Maybe fordnation you can cut the already highest hydro rates in the world so the elitist executives at HydroOne don’t continue making ridiculous bonuses to go with their more than fair salaries overpaid by 50 % maybe rates should be cut by 50 % and opg can get with this times

the only person less believable is Trump.

Get it written down and signed by employers and I'll THINK about possibly believing you.

But will we receive paid sick days? As a front line healtjcare worker i have no concern i will lose my job but i have grave concerns about how to pay for things should i need be off work. This man is a tool. He is inept at his job on every level. He needs to go. FireFord

Even a stopped clock can be used to wedge a door open or something.

He lied and said not a single person would their jobs when he ran in the last election and then he vindictively canned half of the councillors at Toronto City Hall with all of their staffs members.

This is a pretty hollow promise given that you said 'no one would lose their job' after your election and that was just a lie.

We’ve heard this song and dance before. STFU, liar.

Okay but my job closed for two weeks because of the virus and I’m a part time worker, how am I suppose to pay my bills?

ya. and we know what a ford promise means. just ask the flood victims from 2019.

Will workers lose their income if their establishment shuts down? They would still have their jobs but what about the income during the time they are not at work?
