How to get help
If you have a union
The union’s job is to protect workers’ rights. Ask them for help. Usually, union dues are taken off your pay cheque if you are protected by a union.
If you do not have a union
211 Ontario is an information and referral hotline that gives help in many languages. They take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can tell you:
- where to get legal help, and
- how to contact a settlement agency or community agency for other kinds of help.
You could also try contacting a local library or a community legal clinic.
