Diana Aldaz: Because it was my first job I didnt expect anything, so I thought everything was fine, she said, according to The Star. I was really upset. I felt like they cheated me, because I had been working for so long and so hard and I wasnt getting anything, said Aldaz, a poised 20-year-old. So then I called the Ontario Labour Board and asked about unions and When she was 15, Diana Aldaz got a job selling trendy, low-priced clothing at a Sirens store in a Brampton mall. Her work hours were all over the map and she earned minimum wage. But more than four years later, she was still working sporadic hours at Sirens sometimes just one shift a week, even when she asked for full-time hours during her summer break from university. She was still working to the point of stress with little incentive beyond a vague promise of more hours, and still making minimum wage even as people who had been hired after her got raises for no reason she could see except favouritism, she said.
