While there are undoubtedly multiple causes for this, our interviews with students suggest that sometimes students\u2019 working conditions and unfair treatment by employers contributes negatively to their well being. This session provides information on employment standards (breaks, overtime pay, minimum wage, safety requirements) as well as how to respond to sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace. It covers work both off and on campus (e.g., Work Learn). The aim is to raise awareness about student workers\u2019 rights, including information that may help you self-advocate in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panelists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Laura Cipolato is a union representative from <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufcw1518.com\/\">UFCW 1518<\/a><\/span>.
