The Ontario Employment Education & Research Centre (OEERC) is committed to improving public education and awareness on workplace legislation, as well as developing and implementing much-needed supports and strategies for workers who have experienced violations of their rights.
The impetus to establish this charitable organization arose from grassroots groups and a wide range of community organizations. Through their research, outreach and front-line experience, it became clear that it would be invaluable to have a charitable organization whose mandate was to focus on providing public education on employment legislation, as well as much-needed support to workers experiencing violations of their rights at work.
Our work is guided by the principle of increasing accessibility and strengthening communities.
The OEERC was incorporated as a charity in 2008.
