Contingent work in Canada with Dr. Catherine Connelly

Contingent workers, a group which includes gig workers, contract workers, and temporary foreign workers, are a growing segment of Canada's workforce. This trend shows no signs of slowing, and as a result there is an increasing need to protect those workers, who are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Today's guest, Dr. Catherine Connelly, tells us about the current state of contingent work in Canada, and suggests some ways we can ensure the safety and security of Canadian contingent workers going forward.
