“Working Families Party 🐺 @WorkingFamilies”

"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."

    Can’t even get young people to vote, no chance in hell they would ever become organized enough to form a union. Besides, it shouldn’t fall on our young to protect themselves, that should be the role of leaders and we should apply immense pressure to make them do that.

        They are prevented from voting due to age discrimination. There’s nothing physical or mental preventing most young people from voting, only cultural and legal.
