Marc Haine, from hospitality, talks about servers who are mostly single mothers struggling to balance evening shifts with childcare. The pandemic made things worse for workers already juggling primary care responsibilities and unstable income from tips.
Well, you know, and it's interesting because the whole woman in the workplace, my background being hospitality, one of the biggest challenges I've always had to endure was how do I help my servers who were predominantly single mothers who are career waitresses, single mothers. How do I help them with work-life balance, especially when the brunt of their income would come from 5 o'clock on? And how do we help them succeed with this? And I think the pandemic now has just put a real magnifying glass on how inequitable the system has been towards the fact that we have people in the workforce who are responsible for raising children.
