Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
I work as a baker for a well known coffee shop at Carleton University on weekends, 12:45 pm to 9:00 pm. Today I took in my own prep gloves, as theirs do not fit me and I advised them about it, I also took in a suitable pair of oven mitts, as the ones there have holes in them resulting in my getting burned numerous times. I am also working 6 or more hours before getting my meal break, now management is saying I will have to work even when I have exams to write. Any advice would be appreciated, I don’t want to quit, but there seems to be a large disconnect between my manager and myself. Thank you.
