    Strike activity is a form of industrial action that can occur in the workplace once conflict has risen. It is a complete stoppage of work by a group of employees and its aim is to express a grievance or to enforce a demand. (Dundon, Rowlinson, 2011) Employees will usually use a strike as a last resort to deal with issues in the workplace; workers are not able to perform a strike without a stringent process being adhered too with the help of their respective trade union. Employees can voluntarily become a member of a trade union in which they pay for a representative to aid in times of need. Trade unions are used to regulate pay and working conditions between the employer and employee therefore employees will have the support of their trade union during times of proposed strike activity. There have been numerous strikes within the private and public sector workforce since 1978 and this assignment is going to discuss the main developments in strike activity in Britain over the past 35 years.…

    A complex social and political issue that has enrooted employment history for a long period of time; child labor is evolving into a new phenomenon that is having negative impacts on children all throughout the globe. Children involved with child labor can have several different paths to their occupation which can be determined by factors such as poverty, family’s economic status, history, health, and many others. Their work can have major implications such as social disadvantages, poor health, pitiable physical development, and lack of education. Lack of wages are also implemented into the child’s work life, hardly ever approaching minimum wage.

    As a young citizen of Canada, I consider it my responsibility to educate myself about different issues, both local and global. I realize that I am very lucky to live the lifestyle I do, and I am quite passionate about making the world a better place, especially for children. An issue that concerns me is child labour. Child Labour has been an issue since the 1700s, with the Industrial Revolution, and the appearance of factories. By 1810, two hundred million children were involved in child labour. According to World Vision, child labour can be found in nearly every country, and about two hundred and eighteen million children are involved in child labour today. Children are often targeted because of their vulnerability, and they accept repetitive and hazardous work willingly because they may not have other choices. Some contributors to child labour may be poverty, child soldiering, discrimination, traditional culture practices, gender inequality, HIV, AIDS, and many more.…
