Employers have obligations related to "equal pay for equal work" and "work of equal value" towards their employees. This discussion allows you to explore some of the responsibilities of employers.

Provide an example of an Ontario case or Ontario current event where there is an issue of equity. Cases can be found using CanLii. For instance, see the Pay Equity Tribunal or Ontario Labour Relations Board. The issue/case MUST be from the past 8 months. Use course, and external materials, to support your argument.

Explain the case or issue. Consider addressing the following:

• What legislation applies?
• What protections are afforded to the worker(s)?
• What was the decision reached?
• Explain your opinion on the issue.
