Recommendation 3:
In light of the prevalence of racist attacks in restaurants, food and grocery establishments, accounting for almost 1/5th of all reported incidents, and the high numbers of Chinese and Asian Canadian essential workers in this sector, specific attention directed towards the protection of workers, operators and customers in these areas is critical.
- Recognize that workers and small businesses in the Chinese and Asian food sector have been impacted doubly: not only by the lockdown measures and economic damage resulting but also from racist attacks and racialized stigmatization of the sector. Provide support to these small businesses and workers in these sectors by ensuring there is robust support and a comprehensive recovery support strategy.
- Equip community, labour and businesses groups from Asian communities with the resources to support local businesses, workers and consumers in responding to racist attacks in these workplaces.
