Wisconsin Republicans propose eliminating work permits for 14- and 15-year-olds - eviltoast

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.

    The founders had it right. You should have to own at least 500k of real estate to vote. :p
