PLANNING 10 FINAL EMPLOYMENT ASSIGNMENT

Write a short reflection based on what you felt and learned through
watching the video on workplace safety.
I really feel sorry about that girls injury because she would have a
much happier life if she was conscious in the situation. Meanwhile I feel
happy that other teenager employees follow the safety procedures and
work with positive attitude. The whole video talks about teenager
employees basic rights and I learn lot of knowledge from it. The minimum
wage is 10.25dollar/hour in BC comparing to USA's 7dollars. The robbery
situation is also essential and necessary knowledge to teenagers who have
strong justice hearts. This video is beneficial for me to learn the
teenager employees basic rights.
