Minimum wages and universal basic income

[tomh009]

If these privately operated paid their staff more money, they wouldn't be forced to be working multiple jobs. They easily could, too, because these places rake in money as it costs a lot to be able to live in one. Unfortunately, low wages have resulted in workers juggling two or more jobs to pay the bills and that has resulted in so much death from Covid-19.

Money is one part. Additionally some long-term care facilities only offer part-time employment, as that saves them benefit costs.

Maybe the province could mandate specific minimum wages for long-term care facility staff -- and provide additional subsidies to make this possible.
