Combating Alberta’s restaurant lobby | Worker-driven workplace inclusion

2/18/2019

Rank & File Radio – Prairie Edition, February 17, 2019:

Daniel Huber, founder of the Alberta Vanguard Association and Fairserve.ca, reacts to UCP leader Jason Kenney’s new proposal for a sub-minimum wage for youth and alcohol servers in Alberta. Kenney announced that idea at a recent meeting for Restaurants Canada, an industry lobby group opposed to Alberta’s new $15 minimum wage. But Huber, a chef, worker, consultant and now business owner in Edmonton, hopes restaurant workers can organize to make their voices a little louder.

And Tiffany Sostar, narrative therapist and feminist community organizer based in Calgary, discusses the politics of feminist consulting, and how the most effective changes to workplace culture and diversity are driven by workers, not management.
