Excellent, in-depth article in the Star on the lack of attention to workplace COVID-19 outbreaks

Here’s an excellent article by Sara Mojtehedzadeh and Jennifer Yang focusing on a major COVID-19 outbreak in an industrial bakery in Toronto.  They use this story to illustrate the woeful lack of consistent data on workplace outbreaks, plus the apparent massive under-reporting to MOL and WSIB.   

The article also highlights the vulnerability of the workers in these types of workplaces, including temporary agency workers in particular.

More than 180 workers at this Toronto bakery got COVID-19 — but the public wasn’t informed. Why aren’t we being told about workplace outbreaks?
