I felt this was a relevant video to post considering most of are students and probably working minimum wage jobs. I found It especially interesting because by raising the minimum wage we the price of products will rise and their will be a large decrease on jobs. ]]> 2017-12-11 22:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215243801 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215244680 Although this video is quite a few years old its still relevent today. It goes back to 2009 when Canada was in a recession and many employees were being terminated but with out cause. It talks about the website fired without cause, a free website that lets individuals who were wrongfully dismissed get legal help. This is a interesting video because it talks about how several people were wrongfully dismissed during this time which is something I never knew. ]]> 2017-12-11 22:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215244680 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215245570 http://www.firedwithoutcause.com
This is the website thats talked about in the CTV Canada link I posted. This website is very useful and easy to use. If you feel that you or someone you know has been wrongfully dismissed you should check this website out. It calculates how much your severances package should be, gives you a 10 minute video lesson on employment law, and much more. ]]> 2017-12-11 22:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215245570 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215246730 This is a compilation video of clips brought to you by WSIB. It shows several scenarios of different workers who weren't given the proper safety materials or are working in unsafe work places and are killed or severely injured. I chose this video because it shows the reality of what could possibly happen if a workplace doesn't take its proper safety precautions ]]> 2017-12-11 22:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215246730 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215248332 https://globalnews.ca/news/3741785/maple-leaf-foods-fined-after-hamilton-worker-injured/
This article posted by the global news, is about an employee working for maple leaf foods who was injured while on the job in 2016. Maple leaf foods was fined $120,000. The court also imposed a 25% victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. I chose this article because it is a real life scenario that took place at a very popular company factory.]]> 2017-12-11 23:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215248332 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215248802 https://globalnews.ca/news/3908474/bitcoin-fraud-canadians/?utm_source=Other&utm_medium=MostPopular&utm_campaign=2014
This article, also, posted by The Global News talks about bitcoin fraud. Bitcoin scam is becoming increasingly popular and the victims are mostly young people trying to make quick money. The article talks about how Canadians have been scammed out of %1.7 million dollars this year alone. I found this to be especially interesting because I know of several people who have been scammed through bitcoin and who I've warned to stay away from it because its not all its made up to be, and more times than not its not legit. ]]> 2017-12-11 23:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215248802 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215249355 This cartoon is a perfect depiction of a wrongful dismissal. The boss is firing the employee because "he's been right to many times". It shows that sometimes bosses think they can fire you for the sole reason that they don't like you or they feel threatened that you may know better than the, which is never a reason for dismissal. ]]> 2017-12-11 23:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215249355 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215250082 This picture is based on raising the minimum wage in BC but apply to Ontario as well. It sums up the reality of the demographic of most people working minimum wage jobs. Minimum wage workers are not all teenagers saving up for a new phone, its 20 year olds who are paying for college, paying for rent, groceries, etc. These are the people who would benefit the most of a higher minimum wage.]]> 2017-12-11 23:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215250082 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215250556 As you may have noticed I am especially interested in the rising minimum wage in Ontario, mostly because I myself receive a little more than minimum wage at my job meaning my pay will go up. This is another picture just showing the benefits of Ontario's minimum wage going up to $15. ]]> 2017-12-11 23:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215250556 nery_malone https://padlet.com/nery_malone/s1ldd8n9lgln/wish/215920418 Michela. v.
