In many cases, young people are going into jobs without knowing their rights and without knowing what's unsafe. Companies still don't care even after $300,000 fines.

This is the second time someone has died in one of their factories.

I didn't even know about the first case until last week. People need to stand up for themselves because many of these deaths are preventable. Stupid thing is, the previous fines probably had no effect. And this was after the pike river law when fines became larger.
