Youth Employment Act (Passed)

[windjammer]

You support child labor???

[windjammer]

Hmmm,

I don't like the idea of a 14 years old already working.

[windjammer]

Hostile.

Two oppositions from this amendment:
1) The first is that Ii really oppose child labor in any form. I don't believe a 15-years-old, someone whodoesn't have the legal age of majority, should work. They should focuse on their study. If they absolutely need money, I would prefer helping their parents by child allowance, etc,...
2) I would like the federal minimum wage to be respected. Ii don't see why these people should get a higher minimum wage than the other workers.

[windjammer]

Nay

[windjammer]

Cranberry, if you really want to be sure that won't hurt their education, you just have to vote no .

[windjammer]

I object.

[windjammer]

Nay

[windjammer]

Really I'm quite shocked by this piece of legislation.

I guess this is because I live in France?

Windjammer, we are not introducing child labor. We are allowing to let them have a summer job, which is as far as I know, common practice in about every European state, and I would be very surprised if such would be prohibited in France.

Of course you're not reintroducing child labor a la 18th century .

But no, people in France are prohibited from having a regular job when they're 15, not the summer job though.

And I fail to know anyone who has a regular job before 18. (except the summer jobs)

[windjammer]

I object.

[windjammer]

Nay

[windjammer]

I don't believe legalizing child work for 14 years during summer is crazy, even if I disagree with that.

But come on, this amendment is basically a return in the 19th century.

[windjammer]

Aye

[windjammer]

The bill?

[windjammer]

Thirded!

[windjammer]

Well, I don t like child labor at all but this bill isnt too terrible:
Abstain
