Hey my fellow friends. Let me talk about labor today. I'm sure you all know that GAP used(I don't know if they are still or no more) child labor. They employed children at their factories. Don't they know that children should not work except for helpig their housework? In Japan, children who are under 16 are not allowed to work. Also, the maximum workinghours and days are provided by the Labor Standards law. So I can't work more than 8 hours in a day and I can't work more than 7 days continuously. I often work 8 hours on weekends and 5 days in a week. But one day when I asked a schedule manager to give me some days off, he rejected my request. I needed some days off because I have some presentations, reports, and test. Aren't these reasons enough to get some days off?? Besides, why ever could he force me to work whenever he need me?? I got really angry at that time and was about to say "Ok. I quit the job". I didn't quit because I have some skill in working there. However I start thinkng about the situation at my workplace. I think everyone can get days off when they want to have. I rarely ask the manager to give me days off especially on holidays and weekends because I know there are not enough workers there on these holidays. So I got more angry because of his thoughtless manner. Does he think I'm a free university student? It can't be! I think he doesn't know I do my homework after my part-time job(about 10:45pm). The thoughtless people like him try to control employee. Luckly I can oppose my manager. Also I can quit my part-time job when I will not be able to stand this situation any more. However, poor children can't do that. I think many factory like GAP's need observer from the Labor Standards Bureau.
