(Vancouver) A new study that surveyed public school students raises
concerns that BC’s employment regulations are leaving children and
youth without adequate protections in the workplace.
“For many young people, paid work is a positive experience,” says
Stephen McBride, lead author of the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives study and a Professor of Political Science at Simon Fraser
University. “But the survey responses indicate that in many cases, the
regulations employers and parents are supposed to follow when hiring
young workers are being ignored.”
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
