The first child labor law in America went on the books almost 200 years ago, and federal labor protections were enshrined in the Fair Labor Standards Act nearly 100 years later in 1938. So almost a century after the passage of the FLSA, why are we seeing reports of children working in factories, slaughterhouses, and even at McDonald's? Meanwhile, state legislators are introducing bills across the country that further weaken child labor protections. Historian Beth English and Vox senior policy reporter Rachel Cohen explain.

Recorded on 4/26/23. Child labor violations are on the rise, while some states are trying to loosen child labor laws. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with investigative reporter for the New York Times, Hannah Dreier, and the Chief Programs Officer for Justice for Migrant Women, Norma Flores López, to discuss why the number of unaccompanied minors entering the United States has climbed since the pandemic, the types of unsafe working conditions these kids face, how the Department of Health and Human Services has failed to place them in safe environments, and what impact this has on children's education, health, and overall sense of worth. Norma also recounts her time working in the fields as early as 9 years old.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Four Proud Boys, including their leader Enrique Tarrio, were convicted of seditious conspiracy for their involvement in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. The corruption doesn't stop when it comes to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. New reporting in the Washington Post this week exposed that Leonard Leo the architect of the right-wing legal juggernaut, the Federalist Society, instructed Kellyanne Conway to use her nonprofit organization to pay Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, tens of thousands of dollars. Leo told Conway to make sure to leave Ginni Thomas's name off all the paperwork. That reporting comes on the heels of revelations by ProPublica that billionaire Harlan Crow paid the private school tuition for Thomas's great-nephew, who Thomas was raising “as a son.” Thomas did not disclose the tuition payments as part of his legal obligations to do so.

The bill joins similar ones passed in Arkansas and Missouri that are part of a push by conservative lobbying groups.

A series of investigative reports over the last year has revealed that underage children, most of them migrants from Central America, are working some of the most dangerous jobs in our country — from construction sites to slaughterhouses to factories — operating dangerous equipment. States like Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio are considering rollbacks on child labor protections, allowing minors, some as young as 14, to work longer hours and night shifts. Tonya Mosley spoke with New York Times investigative reporter Hannah Dreier, who has been reporting on the children, and Washington Post business reporter Jacob Bogage, who has been reporting on conservative campaign to weaken child labor laws in the states.

Here’s something we didn’t think we’d be talking about in 2023: child labor. But, here we are. Since 2018, there’s been a 69 percent increase in children working illegally, according to the Labor Department and hundreds of child labor cases are under investigation. Recent investigations show that many violations involve migrant children working dangerous jobs. At the same time, some states are rolling back child labor protections. On the show today, The New York Times’ Hannah Dreier explains what child labor looks like today, the multiple forces driving illegal child labor in the United States, and why some states are loosening child labor laws. Plus, how immigration policy changes could help migrant children who depend on the jobs they have. In the News Fix: A new report projects some serious labor market churn due to advancements in technology in the next 5 years. And, looking back at previous debt-limit standoffs can provide a little insight at how the Fed may handle the one that’s going on now. And, who makes the laws in space? Later, we'll hear how one listener's employer is dealing with ChatGPT. Plus, a Make Me Smart musical mix-up. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Alone and Exploited, Migrant Children Work Brutal Jobs Across the U.S.” from The New York Times “Inside the Lives of Immigrant Teens Working Dangerous Night Shifts in Suburban Factories” from ProPublica “Child labor violations on the rise as some states look to loosen their rules” from NPR “The conservative campaign to rewrite child labor laws” from The Washington Post “12-year-olds can’t buy cigarettes — but they can work in tobacco fields” from NPR “Labour market ‘churn’ ahead with a quarter of jobs changing by 2027, survey shows” from Reuters “The new in-space economy” from “Make Me Smart” “More Companies Head to Space, But No One Can Agree on the Rules Up There” from Bloomberg “Moon bases, space junk need more rules: NASA, US government officials” from Space “Here's What Treasury, Fed Might Do in a Debt Ceiling Crisis” from The Wall Street Journal Do you have an answer to the Make Me Smart question?

Child labor is often thought of as a problem only in other countries or as being part of American history from the Industrial Revolution, but it's making a comeback in the United States. There is a conservative movement to extend the working hours for children, eliminate work permit requirements, and lower the minimum age to work in certain risky industries.

So, why would the ultra rich give a damn about whether a trans girl wants to compete in high school sports? Or whether a 10-year-old in Ohio, raped by her uncle, can get an abortion? Is Samuel Alito working on a "theocracy" plan for America? Also abortion: GOP can't win on their issues so they try and hide them. The billionaires don't want you to just compete with overseas labor - they now want you to compete with child labor.

It's News Day Tuesday! Sam catches up on some of the biggest stories of the day, as well as some he missed while he was out. First, he runs through updates on the launching of the Fox-Dominion trial, the Mifepristone ban, the GOP's support for Dianne Feinstein, the WGA overwhelmingly authorizing a strike, the White House's role in the recent Child Labor revelations, continuing gun violence in the US, Sudan's ceasefire failing to materialize, and Karen Bass' anti-homelessness project. Next, Sam dives a little deeper into the absurdity of allowing Dianne Feinstein to continue her reign, Samuel Alito putting the Mifepristone hold on hold, why his own precedents delegitimize the ban, and whether the Major Questions Doctrine will come into play, before touching on the potential next step for the conservative judiciary: trans healthcare. Then, he walks through a recent New York Times article on the rise of the right wing's obsession with transphobia, why it (unsurprisingly) ignores the role of liberal institutions – such as the New York Times – in legitimizing this rise, and refuses to acknowledge the negative electoral impact this bigotry has had. Wrapping up the first half, Sam and the MR crew run through the White House's role in the recent child labor crisis, the central role undocumented children play, and why Arkansas' new child labor laws put migrant kids at risk. And in the Fun Half: Amy from Oregon dives into the inside perspective on the science behind trans healthcare, Ron DeSantis releases a defensive ad in response to Trump's attacks, Ben Shapiro worries that Elsa might be gay, and the right offers its first anti-monopoly stance: break up big beer! Eric from San Diego reflects on the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, San from Texas discusses the local impact of rising Christian Nationalism in politics, and Clark from Houston discusses the inflaming genocidal rhetoric from the right.

In the first hour of The Vince Coglianese Show, Susan Rice admits in a handwritten note that the Biden administration has caused thousands of child migrants to enter punishing jobs within the US. Children were released to sponsors who expected children to take on grueling, dangerous jobs. Vince speaks with Kelly Howard, Attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom about a case she is working on in which a mother was denied by the state of Oregon in adopting two children after she said she would not take minors to receive cross-hormone injections. Washington state passed a bill allowing children to legally be taken away from their parents for not consenting to gender transition procedures on their child.

In this public News Brief, we detail how uncritical acceptance by centrist––and even liberal––media that the US is seeing an unprecedented "labor shortage" is helping justify repealing child labor protections in roughly a dozen states.
There has been a significant spike in the number of child labor violations reported in New York State over the past year. What are those violations and what is the state doing to address the increase? Also, an examination of the gender wage gap. Have we made any progress and what about the so-called motherhood penalty, is it still a thing? New York State Department of Labor Commissioner Roberta Reardon joins the podcast to discuss how the DOL is using the Child Labor Task Force and a new Gender Wage Gap Report to protect workers.

Recent news reports have revealed that child labor is not just a historical relic in the United States—and some politicians want to undermine existing regulations, claiming that less oversight is good for business. The post Belabored: Child Labor, Child Strikes, with Jack Hodgson appeared first on Dissent Magazine.
Terri Gerstein, fellow at the Center for Labor and a Just Economy at Harvard Law School and the Economic Policy Institute, talks about the recent changes to child labor laws around the country and why a loosening of those laws may be harmful to children.
I have to concede one point: Today’s far-right Republican party does not discriminate against women. In fact, the GOP is giving its female political buffoons a higher profile than its male bozos. Consider Sarah Huckabee Sanders, governor of Arkansas, who became a star in the new Republican Crusade to bring back child labor abuse. Pushed by their corporate backers, GOP governors and lawmakers exclaim that the answer to America’s so-called “labor shortage” is not to make jobs more attractive, but to fill them with cheap, compliant children.
