I’m in Canada, Ontario. I looked it up right quick because I’m fairly certain it’s true, you can’t be threatened or intimidated by any employer over discussing pay.
I looked it up but I’m getting mixed messages because you can talk to your coworkers sure, but she complained to the production manager – not sure how different the rules are with that in mind.
I wasn’t there for the encounter but she texted me the details. He comes over all friendly and such, she complains about the pay increase, they get into an argument because she says she can’t barely afford food, he says “Go home if you don’t like it, or go work somewhere else. You wanna keep your job? Go home right now.”
She informed me she will be calling the labour board as soon as they’re open.
I work in a metal shop plant.
It’s true by the way, the pay is very poor.
I won’t be able to respond very much but will check every here and there, because I’m still at work.
