We were recently sent an important message about protecting statutory holidays for retail workers. If you haven’t filled out the survey yet, now is the time!
Toronto City Council is consulting the public on expanding holiday shopping exemptions, and we must make it clear: Retail workers deserve guaranteed time off.
This is a crucial moment for retail workers in Toronto, and we need your voice.
Why Your Participation is Critical
If more exemptions are allowed:
- More businesses will open on statutory holidays, forcing workers to sacrifice their right to rest.
- Retail workers’ hard-fought rights will continue to erode under pressure from big businesses.
- Vague and inconsistent exemption rules will unfairly benefit corporations over workers.
Your voice matters, and this survey is our chance to tell City Council to stand with workers—not corporations.

Let’s stand together to protect retail workers’ rights.
