TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2018 /CNW/ - "The Association of Canadian Search, Employment & Staffing Services (ACSESS) supports the Ford government's decision to repeal Bill 148, the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, 2017, almost in its entirety. ACSESS is pleased to see this government taking a responsible approach in reforming the rushed Bill 148. As the national voice of the $15 billion recruiting, employment and staffing services industry, ACSESS welcomes the opportunity to work with the Honourable Laurie Scott, Minister of Labour and the Ford Government on behalf of our members on new amendments to our Employment Standards Act that protect the interests of workers and business alike. We are committed to keeping Ontario competitive in the global market and eager to help shape new legislation built on in-depth stakeholder consultation and evidence-based amendments, backed by cost-benefits analysis. Our members are ready to develop equitable legislation that protects all workers and is upheld by steady enforcement to foster compliance and hold companies accountable for any contraventions."
