Can you get fired for refusing to do more work for the same pay?

Like say you got hired as a waiter but 6 months in they want you to be a waiter and start washing dishes for the same pay, are they allowed to fire you if you refuse unless you get a raise?

A while back and bunch of my coworkers were told to attend a mandatory meeting.

We all worked for one of the largest banks. We have tons of conference rooms all with the name of the city for our different offices. They were gathered and told all of their jobs were now redundant due to people hired in Asia. They were in the Singapore room.

Apologies to everyone

Due to being unable to find the particular post, ( so can’t reply directly) I’m apologising this way. About the reply that I had about employing people convicted of an illegal act, falsely or not. I did not mean any thing by using that word. And it was ignorant of me. This does not excuse me from any comment that I made. Edit: please no upvoting I’m NOT doing this for karma.

Languages Canada provides accreditation to private language schools. Many of these schools pay below minimum wage once you factor in unpaid but expected work (such as for corrections, prep, etc). When I called Guard.Me Insurance out for sponsoring Languages Canada on Twitter, they blocked me!

Anyone else notice the recent pivot from affordable housing to “workforce housing” from local governments? Cities are running out of low wage workers because they can’t afford to live there.

When that “not in my backyard” attitude blows up in your face. You don't want me to be your neighbor? Fine. But you'll soon run out of grocery store cashiers and then have to drive to the poor town an hour away to do your shopping. Congratulations. You played yourself. My salty attitude aside, this is a good sign, right? Wealthy homeowners and business owners are realizing that they actually need low income people to live next to them for a community to function? But we still got to change the name so the rich people feel better about it.

What if the opposition is right about learning new skills to increase our wages?

I’ve been thinking recently. Instead of expecting existing employers to pay a livable wage, shouldn’t we learn new skills, and seek employment elsewhere with those skills? Aren’t you tired of being miserable all the time? Most of our paychecks go towards rent, or we live with someone else such as a parent that is subsidizing our housing. It doesn’t look like the government is going to do anything about housing. It’s all talk, and throwing money at ineffective measures. The thing is that once we do this, won’t landlords simply see the opportunity to raise rent again? What are we supposed to do? Adapt to the new economic conditions every time? I don’t know what to do anymore.
