Labour has undergone a seismic shift over the past decade.
The rise of gig work and temp agencies have made employment more precarious than ever. In the interest of profits, companies are turning more and more towards temporary foreign workers and international students for minimum wage jobs. And even for those with seemingly secure employment, wages and benefits continue to be squeezed.
One thing seems clear: workers are getting screwed.
This season of COMMONS will dig into the fascinating history and ever-changing present of what it means to be a worker in Canada.
COMMONS: Work launches on March 20th. Follow COMMONS in your podcast app.

The first episode from COMMONS newest season on cults. Click here to follow COMMONS, wherever your get your podcasts.
As organized religion declines in countries like Canada, weâve experienced an explosion of what some call religious movements and what others call cults.
The idea of cults has become an omnipresent part of our discourse. But what even is a cult? And why have we become so intrigued by these groups?
And the language of cults has moved beyond just religion into so many different spheres â everything from fitness, to politics, to work.

We wanted to share an episode with you from another show on the network, COMMONS! This season they are digging into monopolies and asking, is there something special about Canada that makes it especially hospitable to monopolies? To listen to the rest of the COMMONS: Monopoly season, use this link or search COMMONS in your favourite podcast app.
Canadians are being squeezed at every end. When it comes to cell phone bills, grocery bills, housing, entertainment, weâre all paying more than ever before.
But a small number of companies that dominate their industries are reaping in enormous profits.
This season of COMMONS weâll be digging into all of the monopolies, oligopolies and cartels that dominate our lives. And for our first stop, we head to the supermarket.
