🧒LABOR: US is now witnessing scenes reminiscent of the works of Victorian & Gilded Age chroniclers of social degradation: Companies: using child labor🚨 *some are migrant children. Underage workers in Grand Rapids: spicy dust from immense batches of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos made their lungs sting +moving heavy pallets of cereal all night made their backs ache +worried: their hands getting caught in conveyor belts -Ironic: HS teachers lecture them: creation of child labor laws-: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/return-child-labor-immigration/

@KimPerales I predict that this crazy child labor maneuver of the GOP will hasten the return to power of unions. In other words, a self defeating maneuver.

Good news: An update to the state child labor laws. The Supremacy clause: state laws won't be enforceable: The US Solicitor of Labor: "States like Iowa don't have the ability to limit child labor protections set by the Federal Labor Standards Act. "The Department has and will continue to vigorously enforce child labor protections across the nation. The FSLA & its child labor protections apply to all states & no state has the ability to limit these provisions."-Solicitor of Labor, Seema Nanda

@KimPerales Gov. Honey Boo Boo Sanders isn't going to be happy about this. Her rolling back child labor laws in Arkansas is basically moot.

@KimPerales Finally, a moment of sanity in the latest round of Republican insanity.

@KimPerales Trouble is their limited resources & manpower. State authorities under no obligation to enforce those, afaik. Feds will be left to pick up the slack.
