Are we going to extend this nice exemption to other industries? All of manufacturing for one?
I'd LOVE to open a sweat shop. It could take care of all that youth unemployment too.

If I read the story right for the most part the people working there are seasonal workers, so vacation pay and stat holiday pay and to an extent over time pay shouldn't really apply.
Again this industry isn't in a vacuum, its dealing with heavy international competition where those rules certainly don't apply, so the prudent thing would be if you can't compete, then you don't compete.
The next step in places like manufacturing for example is apply the Walmart rule, where everyone is a part time worker with an hours cap, no benefits no vacation pay etc, and you just hire more of them and put the cap on all of them.
