Dollarama workers protest conditions
Dollarama workers held a protest Saturday against their working conditions, which they say are not safe. Certainly even without corona, having one bathroom for 1000 workers can’t be legal.
The company profited lavishly after being declared an essential service during lockdown.

Have you been inside? Unless it’s a particularly large one, it doesn’t feel SAFE. One of the stores that I was at, they weren’t even cleaning the screens between customers.

There’s a Dollarama on Jarry not far from me, but I’ve only been in there a few times, and not since the lockdown, so no. It is tightly packed with stuff and by no means offering much option to keep distances.

Let’s just say “no” to cheap Chinese shit from now on. I haven’t stepped foot in a dollar store in months now. And I plan to consider country of origin in all my future purchasing decisions. As should we all.

Stepping into the ring, because no one else seems to… Because it’s cheap shit or because it’s Chinese? (Hoping this isn’t racism, because viruses don’t have a nationality.)

Max, we just don’t make a lot of stuff any more around here. Anyone buying a manufactured item these days is likely to find it’s made in China, and anything technical will be built to pretty high tolerances. I happen to know a little about LED manufacturing in China (don’t ask) and it’s just as stringently tested for safety as anything from Europe or North America, presuming you can find anything from either of those locations.
