GOP Labor Shortage Solution: CHILDREN

[Lakhota]

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Lawmakers in several states are embracing legislation to let children work in more hazardous occupations, for more hours on school nights and in expanded roles, including serving alcohol in bars and restaurants as young as 14.

The efforts to significantly roll back labor rules are largely led by Republican lawmakers to address worker shortages and, in some cases, run afoul of federal regulations.

Child welfare advocates worry the measures represent a coordinated push to scale back hard-won protections for minors.

“The consequences are potentially disastrous,” said Reid Maki, director of the Child Labor Coalition, which advocates against exploitative labor policies. “You can’t balance a perceived labor shortage on the backs of teen workers.”

Lawmakers proposed loosening child labor laws in at least 10 states over the past two years, according to a report published last month by the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. Some bills became law, while others were withdrawn or vetoed.

Legislators in Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa are actively considering relaxing child labor laws to address worker shortages, which are driving up wages and contributing to inflation. Employers have struggled to fill open positions after a spike in retirements, deaths and illnesses from COVID-19, decreases in legal immigration and other factors.

The job market is one of the tightest since World War II, with the unemployment rate at 3.4% — the lowest in 54 years.

From the OP:

Twenty-four children died from work injuries in in 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Around half of deadly work incidents happened on farms, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office covering child deaths between 2003 and 2016.

“More children die working in agriculture than in any other sector,” Wurth said. “Enforcement isn’t going to help much for child farm workers unless the standards improve.”

Job training is always good. People have to learn sometime how to bring home the bacon.

Oh look a

Maybe you can speak to this then:

All the summer jobs I had as a kid have been taken over by grown men.

I'm talking about odd-jobs a under 16 year-old would perform in the out of school months like mowing yards, farm/orchard work, cleaning-up around a shop of some sort, and the other things that would put a jingle in the pocket of a 12-15 year old. WTF has happened to this country? :dunno:

Kids under 16 need to work when they are out of school, it builds character, goals, and a sense of responsibility.

The Left exploits everyone, that's how they roll. They care about no one and nothing other than their own power.

Yea, we don’t want teenagers to work and learn some trades. We want them all to grow up to be useless twats that collect welfare.

When I was 16, I spent the summer working for The California Department of Forestry fighting fires.

 

[Seymour Flops]

No doubt that girl in the picture was an immigrant, snapped up by a Democrat labor broker and sent to work instead of given a chance to be educated.

What is happening on our border used to happen on Ellis Island, enabled by the same political party.

 

[Lastamender]

The Left exploits everyone, that's how they roll. They care about no one and nothing other than their own power.

They could not capitalize on gender surgery without children. Trying to pass laws to enable minors the right to make those decisions. Maybe it is another coincidence.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I lied about my age at fifteen to fry chicken and french fries in a vat of oil that would have turned my hand into a useless mass of scars if I made a single slip-up. Didn't do me any harm, and I had a truck by the time I was old enough to get a license.

I worked odd jobs I could handle when I was 12. At 13 I was earning a weekly paycheck at a local eatery. Back then the parents just had to sign off on it.

I saved my money and that got me through the leaner school months when I could only put in a few hours on weekends.....School work first.

LOL.....My mom always said I was the cheapest kid to raise because I never asked for anything.
