Infractions include poor record keeping, excess hours, and failure to shell out overtime pay. From the gym to the bowling alley, it seems bosses are struggling to obey the law. A Ministry of Labour inspection blitz focusing on precarious employment has found 78 per cent of workplaces in violation of the Employment Standards Act, according to a detailed breakdown requested by the Star. These include household names like Goodlife Fitness, G4S Security, and Bowlerama, who were caught for a variety of infractions including shoddy record keeping, excess hours of work, and failure to shell out overtime pay. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/01/20/inspection-blitz-finds-three-quarters-of-bosses-breaking-law.html I would say there is a different word that should be used instead of "struggling".

Without having the union as a watch dog all sorts of laws are circumvented.
