Support for the Child Labor Amendment, which applied restrictions to #ChildLabor in the U.S., was evident in a nationwide #GallupPoll in 1936.
#Democrats were in favor by a wide margin, while #Republicans (despite having introduced it) were more opposed. Young voters were widely in favor over their elders.
Some measures of the still-unadopted amendment were addressed in the Fair Labor Standards Act, or #FLSA, which passed into law in 1938.
