A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

"Duvan Tomas Perez, killed working in a poultry plant.

Michael Schuls, killed working at a logging company.

Will Hampton, killed working at a landfill.

This is why child labor laws exist. Companies can't be allowed to turn to kids when adults refuse to work for poverty wages."

It's appalling that this is even a question. Children don't need better terms for working at the abattoir, the garbage dump or the sawmill; they need not to be working in those places.

So true. I can't fathom why a civilized country would let children do labor. This is some straight up 3rd world shit.
