Investigating the Workplace

Many scandals occur in the labor industry that can be related to business and other areas of investigative reporting. Workplace Fairness is a website that features some information that should be known when investigating the workplace. It features workers' rights when it comes to things like wages, health care, unions and workplace safety.

One area that is extremely controversial but very prominent is the child labor issue. IREWOC stands for International Research on Working Children and their website features articles and research on the child labor scandal and can be useful in finding a story.

The U.S. Department of Labor features a lot of up-to-date statistics about labor unions including things like average earnings and under what characteristics workers are selected.
