The newest target of the extremist authoritarian movement in this country is CHILD LABOR LAWS! First Arkansas, now Iowa. Things are moving in the wrong direction. We need to turn this around. #ANewBeginning
An Iowa child labor bill proposes kids as young as 14 could work in slaughterhouses, mining, meatpacking, demolition, etc., under supervised "work-based learning" programs — and it removes civil liabilities from those companies if kids are injured or die. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

Most of the people coming through the border are effectively indentured servants. Do some research, stop hating on those who fight these evils.

What’s wrong with a work based learning program? They’ll probably learn more real world skills then years in school

Keeps the kids out of trouble.

I have been gainfully employed since age 12. You suck.

Careful… “extremist” and “authoritarian” are loaded terms and can just as easily be laid at the foot of Democrats for supporting dangerous reassignment surgeries and sexualized library books and “story hours”for children, as well as vax mandates. Clean your own house first.

You dont know what authoritarian means.

Well if they’re old enough to decide to cut off body parts and remove organs then they should be old enough to work, right?

I live in California, I could have really used a job and money as early as 13-14, surely a young teen is capable of making a vanilla latte.

Is there any situation where this could be good? I wish kids had more opportunities to work, right?
