Gingrich Daughter's Teen Work May Have Violated Law

By Eve Tahmincioglu During the Republican presidential debate this week, Newt Gingrich shared a story about how his daughter worked as a church janitor when she was only 13.

“I was actually proud of my clean bathrooms,” Jackie Gingrich Cushman said in an telephone interview Tuesday, referring to the janitorial job she held at the First Baptist Church in Carrollton, Ga., in the early 1980s. “I learned work has value.”

But that work may have been a violation of federal child labor laws that her father has denounced as “stupid.”

Cushman was 13 when she took the part-time, minimum-wage janitorial job, scrubbing bathrooms two days a week using cleaning supplies and a bucket. She said working as a janitor was a "great experience." Asked if she was working legally as a janitor for the church, Cushman said, "I certainly hope so."

But based on child labor laws in effect now and in the 1980s, 13-year-olds are not allowed to hold janitorial jobs, said Michael Hancock, assistant administrator for policy in the wage and hour division of the U.S. Department of Labor.

This is insane! WTF is wrong with our laws...Newt gingrich was right to have his daughter working at a early age. Under a president Gingrich, I'd hope these child labor laws will be changed to make sense. A 12-13 year old should be a janitor!

I agree, there are some stupid laws in this country. Heck I was babysitting at 12, my sisters were at 10. Also at 12 I was berry picking, the only job you could do without a social security card which back then you didn't have to have until you were 16.

I'm responding to the claim by Matthew that a 12-13 year old should be a janitor. They should not. They should be a student.

The two are mutually exclusive.

Ahh...MSDNC, that figures. True to left-wing politics, when attacking a Republican candidate fails, then attack their family and children. But, always remember, the family and children of Democrats are off limits.

They seem to manage to maintain rational thought when it comes to the Obama family. It's just right wing politicians whose family are fair game.

MSNBC are a sad bunch of left wing hacks. Decent journalism comes a poor second to their rabid bullshit.

There is a LOT to be learned with a simple manual labor job like the value of money earned and the pride of doing a good job.

Apparently you do not understand these concepts or why you need to gain that at a young age. School covers other things.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Some lefty moron had toooooo much time on her hands and not enough IQ points to know no one is going to give a shit that she cleaned the toilets at church after sermons.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Yard work in the heat of summer and the freezing cold of winter.
Painter

MY GAWD my parents were EVUL conservative MEANIES!!!!
