Employment Insurance isn’t just for workers who’ve lost their jobs. This national program, also referred to as EI, is available to most Canadian workers. EI provides insured workers with income for when they are too sick to work, when they need to care for critically ill family members and provides some security when workers lose their jobs.

In this workshop, Kennedy Hughes, the Workers’ Resource Centre’s Public Legal Educator, covers everything workers need to know about Employment Insurance to ensure they are prepared and informed about this essential program.
