"Working people take aim at hated government in British Columbia" By Roger Annis - Socialist Voice, Seven Oaks Magazine
The most exploited workers in the province—youth, and agricultural workers—have also felt the wrath of the Liberals. Changes to the province’s labor code strip away protection to agricultural workers in many areas such as hours of work and payment for statutory holidays and overtime.

(The full minimum wage is $8.)------------------------------------------- posted 1:04 PM :: reference link ::
