Yay… more bad news from the land of the free.
child workers
Failed state.
Gotta bring wages down somehow.
FDR stood with workers, a class traitor in the eyes of the rich. They’ve been whittling away at the New Deal for 80 years now. Civil rights pissed them off, who do these people think they are? But goddamn, Women’s lib was a fucking godsend to the owner class. Available workers; effectively doubled. Wages, halved. hey’ve been riding that shockwave ever since and tech has been thrown in our face so we wouldn’t notice that as inflations tide rose, the pigs were stepping on wages shoulders.
Most only notice now that all the airways are underwater.
But lower profits? Oh no. Let’s pit them against their kids.
These fucking guys man. Is it time to clean the gene pool yet?
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.” — Matt Gaetz had a similar argument.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks.
“The sheep want to jump in my mouth” Mr. Wolf claimed.
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Ohhhh. Just harming young adults. Totally Clean conscience there
“Give me a break” is probably what all the workers are saying.
Who the hell wants to work through lunch and not get a break? Who the hell thinks that’s more productive or better in any way?
No! We want to work more for less benefits!!! Let’s just skip nourishment and a brief rest, that won’t backfire at all. /s
The only reason I can see being, if they aren’t paid for the half hour, they might want to cut it and go home a half hour early.
Why are “children” working to begin with?
If you are under 18 then you are considered a “child” in labor terms. Different states have different laws about people under 18 and work eligibility. In Illinois, I was able to get a job at 15 with a work permit that my school had to sign and very strict rules about what I can and cannot do. They were allowed to pay me less than minimum wage as long as they followed those rules. I don’t think it’s wrong to let teens get jobs and start learning how the working world works and also make a bit of money for whatever they might use it on. But um… Maybe they deserve a lunch break?
What a shithole
