The Canadian Labour Congress and one of North America’s largest private-sector unions, United Steelworkers, filed a complaint with the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise on Monday

The Canadian Labour Congress and one of North America’s largest private-sector unions, United Steelworkers, filed the complaint with the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise on Monday. CORE was set up in 2019 by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to investigate accusations of human-rights abuses related to Canadian businesses’ activity overseas.

“Somebody needs to take leadership on this issue. We believe Canadian Tire has the resources and the leadership to do it,” he said, adding that USW may consider filing complaints for other companies in future. The complaint argues that inflation has made the issue of a living wage more urgent, as the costs of necessities such as food have risen significantly in Bangladesh. To determine its living-wage benchmark, the complaint relies on reports from three groups: the Centre for Policy Dialogue, the Asia Floor Wage Alliance, and Garment Worker Diaries, which calculated a range of earnings workers would need in order to meet the basic costs of living.
