TEMPLATE EMAIL

Dear Jill Balser,

​

As Nova Scotia resident and a constituent of [YOUR CONSTITUENCY], I would like to voice my deep concerns about the lack of tip-theft protections in Nova Scotia. We are the only Atlantic province that allows employers to legally steal the tips earned by their employees. This must change.

​

Too many Nova Scotian workers are dependent on income earned from tips. This is challenged by rising costs due to inflation and delays in raising the minimum wage to a living wage. People tip workers for their services and expect it to go to them, not the employer. Allowing tip-theft in Nova Scotia is against public interest.

​

I am calling upon our government to amend our current Labour Standards Code to include protections against tip-theft. It's time for the province to protect workers!

​

I look forward to seeing some positive changes to the legislation in the best interests of the workers.

​

Sincerely,

​

[YOUR NAME]
