An Ottawa labour council has launched a hotline to publicly shame businesses cutting paid breaks and other worker benefits after the province’s minimum wage hike.

On New Year’s Day, the minimum wage in Ontario went up to $14 per hour, an increase of $2.40. In 2019 it will go up to $15 per hour.

In response, multiple Tim Hortons franchises across the province have yanked paid breaks, some benefits and other perks, workers tell CBC News. Workers at some Sunset Grill, Wimpy’s and East Side Mario’s outlets in Ontario have also said they are losing perks.

“It’s wrong. It’s just plain wrong,” said Sean McKenny, president of the Ottawa and District Labour Council (ODLC), in an interview.

Cherish lives in the Colosseum’s pipes and water systems.
 It’s probably one of the safest places in the southern ocean; men only bother with the pipes when they are broken (and cherish tries her best to keep them functioning so they don’t come barging through her home) and mermaids, most sensibly, keep away from the damned arena, so theres no chance of any ousting from them. She is very proud of her home, the pipes are extensive and pass through the whole, huge building, and with her cartilage bones, she can squeeze into most areas of the colosseum without trouble. She has never been caught, she is quick and wary and brave.
But she is young and believes still, that she could never be caught.
 Cherish isn’t troubled by what goes on in her home. She is aware of the arena, and what it means for those inside but hey, at least she’s not in there, so.
Not her problem.
 For a living, she catches fresh fish and seafood, selling the produce to the market at the docks, disguised in a skirt she stole from a fishwife. No one suspects a thing, she’s gotten very good at the human walk now, you can hardly tell that it’s tentacles moving her around on land. she cut the pockets of the skirt to allow for some sneaky pickpocketing as she wanders the market, looking for the next stall to use her pay. She never buys anything sensible, no food or medicine. she can hunt for her own food, look after herself.
she likes human stuff, she often patronises the second hand stalls, finding odd trinkets and doo-dads to decorate her home.
her family had always been fascinated by humans, and even though they were all gone now, possibly by the hands of two legs, Cherish could not stop her curiosity and wonder at what the creatures could create.

more from the mermaid gladiator stuff!

She’s amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
