Everybody need to familarize themselves with labour laws in Alberta.
Companies like these became much more familiar with Labour laws when the boom hit, but I think that a lot of us (especially myself), I was 19/20 at the time and didn't know better.

If I had gone to my employers, I probably would have been let go within the next week for some performance issue.
