The Wisconsin GOP won’t stop until there are mandatory 40hr weeks for 14yr-olds or something.
From the article:
The proposal comes amid a wider push by state lawmakers to roll back child labor laws and despite the efforts of federal investigators to crack down on a surge in child labor violations nationally.
Under current law, 14- and 15-year-olds in Wisconsin are prohibited from working most jobs unless they have permission from a parent or guardian and have verified their age with the state Department of Workforce Development. The department can revoke youth work permits at any time if it believes a child’s safety is being threatened.
Then let 14 year olds vote already
Nah, we gotta make them wait til they are 26 according to Republicans.
The founders had it right. You should have to own at least 500k of real estate to vote. :p
