It doesn’t matter if you’re a teenage worker or over 18, a citizen or a non-citizen, do blue collar, white collar, or pink collar work, you have equal rights on the job – including the right to unionize.

Unfortunately, youth workers are often victims of wage theft. If you are made to do any work before clocking in or after clocking out, that is wage theft and it’s illegal. Find more examples of wage theft here dir.ca.gov/dlse/Examples_…. #WorkplaceReadinessWeek
