“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."

    With all due respect, fuck that. It would be one thing if they were forced to do that to support their families, but they’re not. In 99% of cases they’re doing it to support an activity they enjoy. For instance, the girl scouts of America is not a business and their activities are not free. Selling cookies is how they afford to do fun shit.

      Do they really need to be selling junk to people to do fun shit? Can’t the families and community support them without making them labor to sell some company’s junk product for a pittance?
