The Child Labor of Early #Capitalism Is Making a Big Comeback in the US

>Roofers in Florida and Tennessee can now be as young as twelve

>#Iowa now allows those as young as fourteen to work in industrial laundries. At age sixteen, they can take jobs in roofing, construction, excavation, [..] Fourteen-year-olds can now even work night shifts and once they hit fifteen can join assembly lines. All of this was, of course, prohibited not so long ago.

On World Day to #EndChildLabour we regret that 160M children are engaged in child labour.
Children belong to schools &playgrounds, not in a workplace.
Children should never bear the responsibility of providing for their family.
We stand for zero tolerance against #childlabour

RT @ThomasWagEESC: It’s a scandal, that today 79 Million children are trapped in hazardous work. They're not able to go to school or to play with their friends. At least the worst forms of #childlabour have to be inherited in the scope of the regulation of a forced labour product ban. @WorkersEESC https://t.co/WmUbdB0DwK

160 million children globally are victims of #childlabour, half of which are exploited in hazardous work.

🇪🇺 #EU has a zero tolerance approach against child labour.

We must #EndChildLabour once and for all.

@Radical_EgoCom and to prevent that from appening, #ChildLabour is illegal in #Germany and #School visits are mandatory for all children age 7-18 with only those exempted that graduated highscool and starting apprenticeship or studying at university [of applied sciences]...

Children were widely used as labour in factories, mines, and agriculture during the British Industrial Revolution (1760-1840). Very often working the same 12-hour shifts that adults did, children as young as five years old were paid a pittance to climb under dangerous weaving machines, move coal through narrow mine shafts, and work in agricultural gangs. #History #ChildLabour #Children #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2216/child-labour-in-the-british-industrial-revolution/

@chillanarchist01 @yogthos Well, #ChildLabour is illegal in #Germany for very good reasons...

One is that school visits are compulsory until someone graduated secondary education or reached age 18...

the other one is that allowing kids to work negaltively impacts their ability to learn and get good grades.

“No other industry relies so heavily on child labour that is also so completely unregulated…
Momfluencers aren’t offering what they purport to offer: an idyllic family, attainable for everyone. They’re airbrushing their lives to fit consumerist ideals, and co-opting their children as props in order to sell, and receive, material goods.”

Remember Sarah Huckabee Sanders? Who was former Trump's White Office press secretary?

Well she signed a bill, as a Governor of Arkansas, that loosens child labour law and removes the requirement for U-16 to get a work permission https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/08/huckabee-sanders-arkansas-child-labor/

Other similar bills are being prepared in other states (https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/republicans-several-states-try-make-child-labor-great-rcna74354) Absolutely revolting and disgusting.
