According to a recent survey of Canadian workers, sexual minority (bisexual, gay, and lesbian) workers are reported to have lower job quality than heterosexual workers. The study conducted by Dr. David Kinitz, a Postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine, and Dr. Faraz Shahidi, an Associate Scientist at the Institute for Work & Health, found that sexual minority workers are three times more likely than straight workers to have precarious jobs. Poor employment and working conditions were also more prevalent – sexual minority workers more often reported part-time employment, irregular employment, lack of union membership, low income, and lack of benefits or sick leave than heterosexual workers. The researchers posited that a broader view of the labour market inequities needs to be adopted to go beyond employment status and needs to encompass more dimensions of inclusion, such as job quality.
