On Wednesday, Oct.15, 2008 200 current black employees of US Marshall filed a law suit against the company for racial discrimination because the manager was treating the black employees like creatures and ridicule them as lazy. They also accused in front of US District Court that only groomed whites are selected for leadership positions while blacks were admonish for insignificant mistakes and if they are good performers, some mistakes or loopholes in work are found for stopping them from moving ahead.

The manager wanted only white employees in his office so that he insults and discourages black employees for silly reasons. The allegations are pending in court but the company has not spoken single word regarding the allegations or manager thinks that these allegations do not affects the culture of employees.

The judgment of the alignment is pending in the district court.

It was found that nearly half of all U.S. teenagers working in the retail or service sectors have performed workplace tasks that are prohibited by federal child labor laws. It was also found that one-third of working teens said they did not receive any on-the-job safety training. There are still many people who aren’t aware of federal child labor laws, while others chose to ignore them. My friend is one of the new York recruiters say that young workers often don’t know their rights as an employee or feel intimidated about confronting an employer. This encourages employers to recruit them. Also they need not spend much money for a child labor compared to an adult.

There is a lot of need for people to get aware of federal laws on child labor to make it safe for our children from the adverse affects of child labor.
