Socalled 'Right To Work' Law Repealed in Michigan

[finnbow]

Meanwhile, Arkansas Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed a bill into law this week that rolls back a number of child labor protections across the state, including a measure that had required employers to obtain work certificates for children under the age of 16.

I'd like to see the people who insist 'conservatives are human beings with hearts who only want the same good things everyone wants' defend this! Tell me this isn't the work of heartless money-grasping bastards!

This cracks me up. In one thread in this forum, the forum members advocated having children given access to "gender-affirming care", including access to meds like puberty blockers, without their parent's knowledge. In this thread, doing away with the relatively useless work permit for high school kids is "the work of heartless money-grasping bastards".

Truly fascinating.

FYI, states are all over the place on this issue. Some states have no work permit requirements, some only require them for kids up to age 16, and some require them for certain types of jobs up to and including age 18. None of these state regulations replaced or detracted from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, which already provides strict child labor prohibitions and requirements.

Anything people feel strongly about attracts a troll from you? Forget it, will not engage with you. Go away.

No, it was a legit observation and a legit set of facts.

Set of facts -

- states are all over the place with requiring minors to get a work permit.
- state laws can only be more strict than Federal child labor laws, which are already pretty strict.

Sorry if that bothers you.
