My two cents on the issue (being 19, and a hard worker... Started at 12 doing hay with my grandfather 6 days a week every summer) is that it is a two way street.
But in the end, the kids have to get through their heads that their managers and boss's owe them NOTHING beyond their current wages for the time they have worked there. If you work harder then all the other kids there... ask for a raise. If they deny it... Find another, better job. YOU are working for THEM, not vice versa.
The problem (I think) in the youth (and most of the rest of society) is a feeling of entitlement. You arnt entitled to anything. You earn your keep in society.
