"Today’s post comes from Megan Huang, an intern in the National Archives History Office.

"The Federal holiday Labor Day honors the American worker. When considering the accomplishments and contributions of the our workers throughout history, one category—the child laborer—doesn’t always come to mind. However, child labor was a significant part of the American labor story."

Of all the corruption and greed we've been hearing about from our elected officials and representatives, this has to be the most egregious. Ironically, it's coming from the "pro-life" party.

The #YouthHiringActOf2023 children under 16 dont need permission from the Division of Labor to get a job. They no longer need to get an employment certificate verifying their age, describe their work & work schedule or written consent from a parent or guardian #ChildExploitation #ChildAbuse

I didn't realize making America Great Again was about returning us to the working conditions of Dickensian England, endangering and enslaving children. (Wouldn't want to raise the minimum wage or anything.) A woman who told bald-faced lies to her nation without blinking an eye or smearing her mascara as White House press secretary coldly sends children to injuries, overwork, and even death.

Not someone emblematic of anything celebratory on International Women's Day. Au contraire. Who taught her politics? I guess being Conservative in the US is proving oneself draconian. I used to live in Arkansas when it was bluer.

@mapache_tico Obsolete? Evidently not. #childlaborlaws #childlabor Sanders has 3 kids, the oldest is 11... Time to send her to the meat-packing plant?

https://progressive.org/op-eds/labor-trafficking-happens-here-too-ditmore-230221/ #LaborTrafficking Happens Here Too. Meat-packing and chicken-processing plants have been sites of extreme exploitation that may meet the definition of trafficking. However, rather than address such exploitation, #MAGARepublicans in the state legislatures of Minnesota & Iowa have introduced bills to allow minors to work later hours and in more dangerous jobs #ChildLaborLaws #ChildExplotation #ImmigrantRights #HumanRights
