Description

Our show on the Air Canada strike generated hundreds of comments at cbc.ca/aircheck, including stories about the unpaid hours you're working. It appears many of you are rethinking your own relationship with "unpaid work". A study by the Institute for Work & Health in Toronto found that about half of the study participants reported working either moderate or excessive unpaid overtime.
