We don’t do much to educate teenagers in general about workplace safety or workplace rights, but recent Bay Area workshop is part of the solution of beginning a dialogue about these issues.

Teenagers are injured at twice the rate of adults in the workplace, which indicates more workplace safety training and awareness is necessary. And I don’t have any data about teenagers and sexual harassment at work, but stories about teens at Hollister and McDonald’s indicate that part of our conversation about work needs to include a discussion of sexual harassment as well.
