Southern Ontario, Canada Industrial Heartland

: The challenge today is far different, according to Toronto Star. Blue-collar jobs are fast disappearing. But it was born in hard times, when determined printers in Toronto committed what was then considered a crime and walked off the job in 1872 demanding an end to workdays lasting more than nine hours. Southern Ontario, Canada industrial heartland, is being described as the new rust belt. Permanent, full-time jobs are being replaced by temporary or part-time work, with secure employment a thing of the past. Where labour once fought to work nine hours daily or less, some people today don’t work much more than that in a week. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
