Challenging Precarity through Community Benefits Agreements: Leveraging infrastructure projects to increase training and labour market access for equity-seeking and historically disadvantaged groups in Ontario James Nugent PhD Candidate University of Toronto Department of Geography & Planning

Ontario will invest $130 billion in public infrastructure over the next ten years. How do we leverage infrastructure dollars to get the most “social value added”?

“Community Benefits” clauses: bridge the skills gap; increase employment equity; reduce socio-spatialization of poverty environmental sustainability goals.

Under-representation Only 2% of skilled tradespersons are women. Only 9% of apprentices in the skilled trades are people of colour (23% of labour force).

Skills Gaps (?) Shortage of engineers with 5-10 years experience while internationally-trained professionals struggle to get hired Looming skills shortages in certain construction trades

Socio-spatial Polarization

Targeted hiring Range of jobs Scaling-up pre-apprenticeship programs Bridging programs for internationally-trained professionals Contracts for social enterprises Community amenities Environmental design Monitoring & legally-binding enforcement TCBN Eglinton Crosstown LRT Community Benefits Goals

Eglinton Crosstown LRT Community Benefits “Framework” ✓ Coordination ✓ Unconventional resident engagement X Clear targets X Legal equity mechanisms X Funding wrap-around supports X Monitoring

Scaling-up CBAs Toronto City Council April 22, 2015: CBA protocol referred to staff Bill 6 (Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act) May 13, 2015 passed second reading

CBAs & Precarity NOT net job creation tool BUT reduce precarity through: ✓ Living wage provisions ✓ Affordable housing ✓ More equitable income distribution across families & communities
