Hyundia fabrication plant in Alabama found to have used child labor as young as 12

12 is young. They can't even consent to sex in Alabama until they're 16!

 

Neil Gorsuch would love this test case to resurrect Lochner and the freedom of contract

 

Caveat: If they are an immediate family member they can consent to marriage at 12, and then sex may follow.

 

THey can have babies at ten in Ohio.

 

Its a workers party now, and by that I mean child workers

 

I couldn't get my kids to mow the yard at 12.

 

I was once told the only acceptable lie, was lieing about your age to get a first job. This is a bit of a stretch tho.

 

Kids cost a fortune unless you can make them work. Just imagine how many more will be in the workforce with limited birth control.

 

Were they married?

 

20% of posts so far in a thread about child labor in Alabama have turned into abortion posts.

Too Hot at its best man!

 

27% after your post.

 

Why should we punish a company for creatively finding ways to overcome the labor shortage?

 

I would have loved it when it I was 12. I remember begging several local farmers to hire me to work in their tobacco fields so I could make some money. Got hired as a "hander" (picked tobacco leaves off the table and handed them to a "stringer" who then strung the tobacco leaves on tobacco sticks which were then hung in tobacco barn for cooking). 10-12 hours a day. Next year I graduated to "cropper" and made really big money, 15.00 a day!
