:: Thursday, August 07, 2003 ::
Child labour: Changes to the B.C. Employment Standards Act, which could go into effect this fall, will allow employers to hire children between the ages of 12 and 15 with parental consent alone, dropping the requirement for permission from a school counsellor and the director of the Employment Standards Branch.
The government says that it's simply cutting through red tape and argues that no one followed the old rules anyway, and that increased fines for not getting parental consent will keep employers in line.
But critics counter that the B.C. government is leaving children open to abuse and instead of easing the rules, should have strengthened them.------------------------------------------- posted 6:37 AM :: reference link ::
