The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.

The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.

"Children should get to experience the joys of workplace accidents, night shift syndrome, and abusive, sometimes sexually aggressive drunken customers. Why do liberals hate our chillinz?!"

@rebeccawatson Europeans and rich gulf Arab states debate and actually work less than 40 hours a week while the richest country in the world regresses to child labor. And of course in the F&B industry, where base salary still exists at 2 dollars something!

@rebeccawatson personally I'd just like to see those with jobs actually doing the job they are paid to do. Congress I'm looking at you.

@rebeccawatson

Republican billionaire donors fund fascism.

Republicans interrupt the education of children to create the uninformed electorate needed for an anti-democracy movement.

@rebeccawatson So republiklans endorse child labor. The green card workers employed in meat packing plants are underage. More exploitation by the gop for profit.

@rebeccawatson You know I really hate to be that guy, but the first thing my mind did was run through a logical scenario which is absolutely terrible for the next generation. I also just have to comment, why is the fuck would you let your 16/17 year old work a job that enforces them to deal with drunken idiots. #AlcoholicChilldren #NewDrinkingAge

@rebeccawatson They kicked out all the immigrants so now they'll make kids work and subjugate divided minorities.

@rebeccawatson They don't care about children or their education, they just want to exploit workers as long as possible.
