INTERVIEW: Associate Professor Bassina Farbenblum
Q: Are we doing well on an international stage or is our reputation being damaged by these ongoing wage theft issues?

INTERVIEW: Associate Professor Bassina Farbenblum
Q: Is there a warning you could give as we approach the summer working season for international students?
Make sure you're properly classified as an employee, be cautious about unsafe work, and know your rights against coercion and harassment.
INTERVIEW: Associate Professor Bassina Farbenblum
Q: Are you really confident that these laws are adequate? And have they had any impact?

Q: What is the remedy or what is your advice to people who were trapped in a bind?
Work out what you're owed, keep records of all hours worked, and bring issues to your employer's attention if there are discrepancies.
