Good morning,


My name is Clarrie Feinstein and I’m a business reporter with Toronto Star.


I’m touching base with labour groups today to discuss inflation rate and what this means for people’s wages.


I wanted to know if certain industries will see wages rise and if others will remain stagnant? I also wanted to know what federations and employees can do to advocate for higher wages.


I am on a tight deadline – would someone have availability before 3 pm for a quick phone call?


Thanks,

Clarrie

Hi there, I’m a reporter with Torstar/toronto.com – I tried reaching out on Twitter earlier today, but haven’t heard back.

I might be interested in doing a little piece on your new president Andria Babbington, but for starters I need to know if she is a Toronto resident or grew up in the city and where by neighbourhood/intersection. I always want to localize my stories to Toronto. Thx, J.

Mr. Cartwright,


I’m a writer for ENR, a construction publication, and I’m writing about the racist graffiti and incidents at the Michael Garron hospital construction project.


My question is for some context and it is whether the building trades in metro Toronto are integrated and to what extent.


Do you have any information that would be helpful or can you direct me to the best person to talk to at the building trades.


Any help in the next day or so is appreciated.


Thanks,


Richard

Hi there,

I’m working on a story for Maclean’s about the unionization efforts of gig economy workers—in particular, whether a conventional union model will be sufficient for these workers or whether they’re hoping to adapt that model. I was hoping that someone with the Labour Council might be available to comment, ideally early next week?

Thanks very much,

Sarah
