"Nearly a decade after the global economic crisis, it is still a tough economy and everyone is looking for efficiencies. "

Fun to unpack that sentence to assay the writer's unthinking acceptance of market fundamentalism, her basic lack of humanity and inability to even question the efficacy of an "economy" that only works for the convenience of employers. 

Britain, home of the industrial revolution and the birthplace of capitalism, is now up to its neck in the "gig economy" where zero hour contracts allow "employers" to schedule workers with no real notice while offering no security. Recent reports in the UK have also documented how workers may have two or more gigs and still live in poverty.

Not surprisingly from the McDonald Laurier Institute, it is writing like this that seeks to create the impression of the inevitability of the supremacy of markets over people, the privileging of capital over labour and the rights of employers over workers. It is not inevitable. Fight back. Now.
