PMJT: Tomorrow in our weekly meeting with P/T leaders, will discuss how to get this wage boost in place as quickly as possible.
Workers who are the most important line of defence, will support you at this time.
PMJT: millions receive CERB, but yet more didn& #39;t get help. We are relaxing criteria. If you earn $1K or less a month you can now receive CERB. Many people don& #39;t work as many hours as before, and many are adjusting to contract/gig work.
PMJT: CERB also will be available to those who ran out of EI benefits and can& #39;t get work, as well as seasonal workers whose working season will not now start.
Musicians, artists, they will also be eligible.
PMJT: People making $1K a month or less will now be able to get the CERB ($2K a month) along with those who ran out of EI, and those whose seasonal work won& #39;t materialize.
More to say about post-secondary students without jobs soon.
PMJT: If you are feeling overwhelmed, know you are not alone.
This week the gov& #39;t is launching a new portal that will bring together mental health resources.
