14 year-olds will be allowed to work the night shift! How can a teen work nights & attend school in the day? I guess they sleep all late afternoon & evening so they can work all night? Forget homework, it's for the elites! The kids they are targeting are poor & minorities they want to keep down.

Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession.

They care only about rich white kids who will not be taking these jobs.

Flippin' Gov. Of Mississipi signed off on new labor laws months ago. Kids working at 14. Other young teens allowed to work with DANGEROUS equipment in meat/poultry factories & God only knows what other horrors.

The MS Governor I referred to is S. Huckaby, a previously long-term Press Secretary.

There should be no women or children in Florida or any other red state.

Oddly, I have been saying this since I heard about the Republican Child Labor laws In Arkansas.

Just wait until we start mining all our National Parks for minerals. This could explain the demise of the Department of Education.

Duh Santis needs to let his own kids work, picking fruit and vegetables. He needs to keep his fucking hands off my kids.

Florida is the test market. They want this across the board

Republican states child labor laws are exploitative.
Children are not slaves!

umanoid.bsky.social•5 days ago

Everything they have ever said and currently say is a lie. It’s always just political posturing. They only care about themselves. They don’t care about children. The military.The police. Jews. The Bible and Jesus. Their constituents.

vacatmom3.bsky.social•4 days ago

The juvenile justice system will funnel some kids into detention camps also. Slave labor like California does with its prison fire fighters! The pro life party hates children after they are born!

US stopped hiring kids to work 100+ years ago. Sept 1906 Cosmopolitan story tells of old Native American chieftain given tour of NYC. At tour’s end, Christian men asked him, “What’s the most surprising thing you have seen?” [He] replied slowly: “little children working.” https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/201...

I suppose it won't be long before juvenile offenders are sentenced to help harvest produce and process meat in red states.

They only care about kids when they can use them politically to forward their fascist agenda.

14 year old kids working overnight shifts to fill roles left by deported migrants.

ceciliafund.bsky.social•4 days ago

Imagine them working overnight in hotels/resorts. A child trafficker’s dream scenario.
My bet is this new law will not affect the governor’s children.
How can they think this is even remotely a good idea?
Another FL man bad decision. Always the FL man.
🤦🏼‍♀️

joterrell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Have any of these republikkkans (who expect children to replace migrant workers) ever tried to get a neighborhood kid to mow their lawn?

Do they really expect children to re-roof hundreds of homes after a hail storm, tornado, or hurricane?

Idiots!

jambs54321.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is sooo spot on. And do they actually think that with access to the internet and social media that teens will gleefully bust their butts for minimum wage and then hop on their phones and watch videos of other kids not working and having fun and living life?

77nonna.bsky.social•5 days ago

Didn’t anybody figured out the consequences of deporting illegal immigrants by the millions would have an impact on the workforce? So now you will replace them with youngsters whose future you don’t care about as long as you don’t need to pay a decent paycheck. Or slaves or chain gangs?

steelcitygirl57.bsky.social•4 days ago

Uh... Don't kids' parents have to sign paperwork for them to even HAVE a job let alone work long hours or a night shift? When I was growing up you had to be 16 to work. Maybe it's different in floriduh, idk. 14 year olds can't even drive yet so how are they even getting to these jobs? 🤨

White boots kills Florida agriculture - deregulation of child labor laws only hope.

Next - white boots closes schools children report to nearest farm or crop.

Oh yeah TrumpCunts never let logic or compassion slow them from destroying America

debibg.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s the new slavery. Kids will come from poorer families, they’ll be so tired they will drop out of school and be paid below minimum because they’re kids. Sickening.

Desantis wants to put American children, as young as 14, into the fields and factories, again. He calls it "dirt cheap" labor.

klouisef.bsky.social•5 days ago

When poor kids work, they eventually have to stop going to school as the work school balance becomes too much. The food assistance is drying up with DOGE cuts, kids need to work to be able to eat.

Social studies experiments in evil.
