↑ The immorality of child-slave labor when legal adults go without incomes for lack of employment opportunities.

Disgusting.

If I had not already boycotted McDonalds, I would certainly do so now!

:evil:

Not so fun fact: some states are introducing legislation to slowly reintroduce child labor.

They'll try anything to reduce the bargaining power workers have.

What make me feel even more disgusted is that some of our own members seem to believe that Child Labor Laws are a Communist plot against America.

I think McDonalds are fairly safe on this one

Franchise owner-operator Sean Bauer said the two 10-year-olds cited in the Labor Department's statement were visiting their parent, a night manager, and weren't employees.

“Any ‘work’ was done at the direction of — and in the presence of — the parent without authorization by franchisee organization management or leadership," Bauer said

My sister worked for McDonalds in the early 1980s as a teenager and was being paid several dollars an hour to risk her life cleaning out oil from french fries vat where there was a risk kids could fall into the boiling oil.
Nowadays the risks for teenage workers on minimum wage is still > whatever they are being paid
