I am a maintenance electrician at a manufacturing plant, the company wants us to take turns being on call weekends with no financial compensation. Is this legal?

It is Canada.
You could refuse but might wind up unemployed. |

Look @ your job description. If you dont have one ask you HR manager. If this "on-call" condition is here then you bought it. If not - you have a chance. |
