Question 2

Scenario 12.2
Boat Xpress is a shipping firm in a small rural area in Northern Ontario. The company hires mainly part-time workers, but has them work full-time hours. This way, the firm does not have to pay employees benefits or provide them with more than 4 percent vacation pay. The working conditions at Boat Xpress are very bleak, and health and safety standards are non-existent. If an employee is injured on the job, he or she goes home without pay until well enough to resume working. Several employees have tried to organize but they end up getting fired, and the firm threatens to shut down if they continue trying or report incidents. Because employees need these jobs to survive and take care of their families, they believe they have no other choice but to continue working.
