Florida employers are getting desperate for workers and their state legislature is coming to their rescue. Do the minimum wage law apply to minors? Probably not.
We now have a penal colony in El Salvador, child labor in Florida and what is next? We will all be growing our own food, part of the MAGA master plan.
Florida debates lifting some child labor laws to fill jobs vacated by undocumented immigrants
Quote:
Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.
Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature have a potential solution: children.
The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.
The bill passed through the Florida Senate’s Commerce and Tourism committee on Tuesday with five votes in favor of the loosened child labor restrictions and four against them. The bill will pass through two other relevant committees before being put to a vote with the full Florida Senate.
