The authors reveal and trace the roots of a deepening \"enforcement gap\" that pervades nearly all aspects of the regime, demonstrating that the province\u0026amp;#x2019;s Employment Standards Act (ESA) fails too many workers who rely on the floor of minimum conditions it was devised to provide. Arguably, there is nothing inevitable about the enforcement gap in Ontario or for that matter elsewhere.
