what I learned form Courtney and Natalie
When Courtney and Natalie presented their presentation on overworking teenagers I was really surprised by how little hours you can do on a regular school day. I really wasn't aware of any of the laws that are for teenagers working during school. Back home in Connecticut, we had laws, but still, I wasn't informed about them. I think these laws really benefit teenagers, but if you really want to work a lot and make money, it makes it difficult for you to make the amount you want in a week. Overall I am thankful for them informing us of these laws again.

I agree, I was surprised as well. I have worked in the past but they reinforced child labor laws. I guess child labor laws aren't regulated too well with businesses.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't as surprised about the short school-day work hours but more about how badly labor laws are reinforced. Personally, I haven't faced any problems with working, getting paid, etc. Still, it was really beneficial for us, who are already working or are planning to work in the future, to learn about overworking and taking a stand when managers aren't responsible.
