Florida's Plan to Replace Migrant Workers With Children Falls Apart
The bill would have permitted 16- and 17-year-olds to work overnight on school days and work longer than an eight-hour day before a school day. Some 14- and 15-year-olds would also have been allowed to work those hours.
Proponents said the bill aligned with federal child labor law and would help combat labor shortages, but critics warned that it posed serious risks of exploitation.
What to Know
If approved, Senate Bill 918 would have removed restrictions on the number of hours that 16- and 17-year-olds can work per week during the school year.
Child Labor didn't go through? Ah well, Prison Labor, you're up.
Quick, arrest the protesters!!!
This is from the same party against free school lunches, by the way.
Kids being fed is communism. Child labor is what the forefathers would have wanted, apparently.
