Today @mmaroto.bsky.social @amykaler.bsky.social and I are featured in the @thetyee.ca to discuss the mistake employers are making by mandating workers back to the office.
Canadian employers have been ordering workers back to in-person work through blanket return-to-office policies.
On top of harming workplace equity, these policies have repercussions as children head back to school and respiratory illness season looms, write three experts. 🦠 #canlab

Back-to-Office Orders Are Destructive and Unnecessary | The Tyee
For no reason, employers are risking a disease surge, hurting parents and setting back equity.

🧵Doug Ford and major Canadian employers have been busy implementing blanket return-to-office policies that unions oppose. In the @theconversation.com , @mmaroto.bsky.social @amykaler.bsky.social and I show how these policies harm workers and contribute to our multiple ongoing public health crises.
As back-to-school season approaches, Canadian employers are making a mistake by mandating workers back to the office
Remote-work flexibility has supported workplace equity helped limit outbreaks of respiratory infections. Back-to-offices mandates could erase those gains, especially with lowered vaccination rates.

Large clouds currently hang over what we do as sociologists. Even in Canada, we’re dealing with the underfunding of higher education. Things can feel pretty dark sometimes. Thank you, #ASA2025, for reminding me why we do what we do and for the chance to spend time with so many amazing people.

Really glad to see @picardonhealth.bsky.social picking up new research by @mmaroto.bsky.social @andiyeg.bsky.social and me. Virus surges aren’t going away, most workplace “sick leave” is inadequate, and women who parent are bearing the brunt of amped-up caregiving demands.
Fascinating paper on how Alberta parents coped (or didn't) with the tripledemic of #COVID19, #RSV, and #influenza.
🧵The first paper from our project on viral illness in Alberta has been published.
@mmaroto.bsky.social , @amykaler.bsky.social and I find that for many working parents balancing persistent circulation of sickness is untenable, and many have reached a point of resignation.
