Happy International Workers’ Day! Thinking today about student workers who aren’t paid for internships and young people leaving Nova Scotia to find work. Sharing some of the campaign assets All Caps designed Vote Education campaign for the Canadian Federation of Students-Nova Scotia.

#marchmeetthemaker Day 18: Inspiration My children are the reason I do what I do. I want to teach them to be independent, self driven young adults who hopefully miss the potholes I hit on my journey of growing up. So when I had the idea of launching my own business, I knew that failure was not an option. My children are involved in multiple different areas of my business and I hope to bring them in even more the older they get. @joannehawker #mybabies #inspired #doitformylittles #sacrificeformychildren #youngworkers #thefaeimagination #tfisfaeriegrove #myinspiration #whyidowhatido (at The Fae Imagination)

What does nutrition have to do with workplace management? Management's role is to make an organization function effciently, like a well-oiled machine. You're the boss of your body, so focus on foods that will keep you rising to the top, like fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plenty protein.

Who says safety can't be cool? Meet the Safest Young Worker, who knows that behaviors on and off the job can influence your safety at work.

Some hazards in the workplace can't be avoided. When this is the case, employers are REQUIRED to provide personal protective equipment like gloves, masks, protective eyewear, hearing protection, or helmets. Your responsibility is to wear the recommended personal protective equipment EVERY TIME you engage in the task. Keep yourself safe and be a good example for others in your workplace. Getting hurt isn’t in your job description. Use personal protective equipment and encourage others to do the same. mass.gov/youngworkers

Starting a summer job? Young workers are often asked to work alone at night. Unfortunately, this is prime time for workplace violence to occur. So how do you protect yourself? 1. Speak up! Tell your supervisor that you don't feel comfortable closing by yourself. 2. Become familar with your workplace's emergency action plans, so you know what to do in an emergency. 3. Check out the laws in your home state. Some states prohibit young workers from closing on their own.There are also restrictions on how late you can work if you are under 18. Getting hurt isn’t in your job description. Know your rights as a worker and speak up if you see a hazard. For more information visit mass.gov/youngworkers.
