Rights of workers

Workers have their rights to a job. You can’t keep someone from having a job because of who they are. They have the rights to have a job. Even if they do get a job you cant treat them different than from anybody else. Here is an article about the badly treated workers.

“ACTU President Sharan Burrow said:
"This study by Job-Watch, a community legal service, shows young people who work in fast food outlets are prone to injury and exploitation. Some of the alarming findings include:
• Around one in two young people (46%) suffered an injury or illness at the workplace but many did not report the problem (24%).
• More than one in three experienced violence or bullying at work (35%) including sexual harassment and even assault.
• One in ten (10%) were paid less than the legal minimum wage and almost one in four (23%) were not paid for attending staff meetings as is legally required.
• Around one in three (32%) worked very long shifts of 11 hours or more while more than half (53%) had worked shifts longer than 8 hours.
• Nearly one third of young people were not adequately supervised to ensure health and safety instructions were being followed and they were not exposed to any risks.
The young people surveyed worked either in a major fast food chain or in stand-alone outlets including fish and chip shops, general takeaway shops, pizza takeaway shops, ice cream parlours, and juice bars.”
