According to the Economic Policy Institute, which is tracking the trend, 12 states have enacted laws in the last three years that roll back safety rules and regulations on hours and working conditions for workers under age 18. Arkansas allows employers to hire 14- and 15-year-olds without having to verify their ages or report their job conditions. Iowa permits children as young as 14 to work in industrial laundries and roofing and demolition jobs — occupations that federal law considers too hazardous for anyone younger than 18. Florida is among several states allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to work between 11 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. and for more than eight hours — even when they have school the next day. #ChildLabor#Labor#LaborLaws#Children#SaveTheChildren

I can’t imagine any other scenario (lease, mortgage, etc) in which this would be legal.

My family has tended to be loyal customers, but we won't be crossing any picket lines, thank you-- not even for their chocolate cake.
