Because the existing workforce keeps getting deported.
Reason number 11,462,821 why you can never, under any circumstances, trust conservatives with power.
So they gonna get the right to vote? Cause if they are going to be treated as adult they should get vote.
Let’s also decrease liquor and smokes to 8 while we are at it.
Also remove child support cause they are grown up to get their own jobs and health insurance.
/s
f these people.
Health insurance? You think these kids are getting health insurance???
Laughs in capitalism
Deport workers and fill their positions with literal children. That’s an insane proposition that will only hurt the vulnerable and favour those willing to use them…
That would be a great point if not for the “rabble rabble DEI! rabble rabble Bootstraps!”
Stupid lib!
What?
I think what they were getting at was that you made a good point, but unfortunately those in power use devicive rhetoric in order to keep us mad at each other instead of mad at them.
Ohhh that’s a bingo!
Wow. What the hell. None of that is acceptable.
Jesus they just can’t stop winning eh?
Reduce minimum age for sex workers to twelve…
Don’t fucking give them ideas!
I keep saying this is all a front to reduce age of consent. Once you establish teens are as capable as adult it goes down hill. Plus they cant vote.
They are probably already jacking off to such ideas in the GOP.
I’m not against letting teenagers work as long as there are protections. Removing guaranteed meals and overnight work? Nah.
If they’re removing these protections for teens what are they doing to the rights of adult employees?
Florida infamously removed water break regulations. In a state the military regularly suspends training due to the heat index. I’m starting to get the idea that these aren’t good people.
Employees in Florida (and most states, like ~40 states) have no laws that require breaks. Many states do/did require that minors get them though
Truth. I grew up in Florida I always had breaks (first job was at age 16 at a pet store and I had LOTS of jobs after that) and was shocked when a friend of mine was working a fast food joint, in management, and had no lunch break. I told him he should sue and then we saw the law. Guess all my other employers were just cool or something. (I mean, they weren’t paid breaks—my friend was not even given the time in his schedule for breaks).
That’s food service. I live in a state that technically requires a paid 10 every 4 hours but my employer makes it so that affirming that you took all your required breaks is part of your clock-out procedure. To answer ‘no’ you have to find a manager at the end of your shift to swipe their card and verify that you did not receive your mandated breaks. Then it goes into a report that makes them look bad. You can imagine how they react when you start consistently telling on their negligence. I don’t know anyone who works there who tells the truth all the time.
I tried for a while, and it got me chewed out for not taking my breaks (as if I control the pace at which my tables are sat, or as if I can schedule a breaker on a weeknight). So I started taking breaks at the end of my shift, after my tables were gone but before I finished my side work, and suddenly I spent too much time in the break room.
All workers should have a guaranteed meal break on any shift that takes up 6 hours or more of their day, commute included. The economy is supposed to work for us, not exploit us.
onion right? right? turning the debate on “free meals to school kids” to “should we feed kids working in the mines”. Nice progression M’URICAH
Well, it’s Florida. These kids will be washing dishes and cleaning rooms at resorts until the oranges are ready to pick. Try to go underground there you’ll just hit the ocean.
I can see Trump defending Dept. Of Labor and OSHA
I think you want “defunding”. (Probably spell check broke it.)
I imagine this will work well with the school to prison pipeline.
Slavery’s going to be mainstream again
No no, you don’t understand, the free market sets wages! If the boss can’t find workers at the rate they set then they have to
raise wages…hire children!!🤮
How dare you speak ill of the holy Corporation! It is superior to all of us lowly humans. If it needs a child sacrifice to function then we must give up our best children!
Why are they doing this? What do these people need so badly that they think this is a good idea?

“Wage slaves” is the only answer I’ve found that fits the available information. Some of them are being misled by others, but some must understand the impacts of what they’re asking for.
They’re kicking out the immigrant wave slaves because of racism, so now they need child wage slaves to fill the gap. They just need someone desperate and powerless to exploit.
Florida is a land for the dying.
For OSHA violation-related teenage deaths
That’s funny if you think OSHA will exist soon
Read the fine print tho: “Due to lack of migrant workers.” What’s that again? Lack of migrants you say? Whatever could be causing that?
