What i have so far:

1 Write a report about your topic. The report must be at least four pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, and standard margins. Your sources list (see below) is not credited toward the report’s page count. A cover page is not required and will not be credited toward the page count.
2 Your report should contain the following content.
• Answer the career-application question, How is knowledge of this area of law useful to your particular career field? Be specific and provide details here.
• Discuss at least three subtopics related to your topic. For example, if your report were on intellectual property (not an acceptable report topic because it’s in the textbook), your three subtopics might be trademarks, patents, and copyrights. You get to personalize your report to match your research interests.
3 Use and cite at least three sources.
• Business Law at WCC and Wikipedia are not acceptable sources for this outside research project. Other law textbooks, casebooks, law-firm websites, business books, and legal websites (such as Avvo (https://www.avvo.com/) and Findlaw (http://www.findlaw.com/)) are acceptable sources.
• Use APA in-text citations in your report, and then list your sources in APA format on a separate page from your report. Citation Machine (http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-book)
is a helpful tool to create proper citation format.
What I have so far:
What appealed to me about this topic is the fact that I have been working since I was 15 years old and I don’t really know my rights as an employee.I think that this topic applies to every single career that I have ever held in the past, present and future.I believe that because of my lack of knowledge of labor laws have led me to tolerate a lot of things at work that I should have never tolerated.
1.child labor law is a law regulating or prohibiting the employment of a person who is below a specified age. This subtopic relates to my main topic because children don’t usually have knowledge or an understanding of their rights so it is very easy for them to get manipulated and taken advantage of in the workplace.
2. The importance of a union- we cannot talk about labor laws without mentioning the importance of unions and all that they are doing for employee rights.
3. the Fair Labor Standards Act, prohibits child labor, and sets a minimum wage. This subtopic relates to my main topic because a lot of people are making minimum wage and it is important to understand the laws that are put in place regarding our pay.
