1. El Retroceso de las Leyes de Protección Infantil.
Numerosos comentarios denuncian una tendencia alarmante, especialmente en estados de mayoría republicana, de debilitar o eliminar leyes de protección laboral infantil vigentes desde hace décadas. Esta situación genera temores de un regreso a prácticas de explotación históricas, afectando la seguridad y el desarrollo de los menores.
- The loosening of longstanding child labor laws gets lost in the daily chaos. Its bleak as hell, and another indication that were gonna have to relearn a bunch of hard lessons.
- At least 10 states have rolled back child labor protections. Today, children as young as 13 are working in hazardous environments like meatpacking plants, warehouses, and tobacco fields often at the expense of their health, education, and safety.
- Republicans in ohio are doing more to put children in the workplace. Ohio house sends gov. Dewine two measures to change child labor laws they are trying to undo 90 years of child labor laws.
- Yes. Thats why places like florida and arkansas are dismantling their child labor laws and workplace safety laws, so the children can return to the meat packing plants.
2. Críticas a la Postura Política y Corporativa.
Las publicaciones acusan directamente a facciones políticas, principalmente republicanas, y a grandes corporaciones de promover el trabajo infantil como una estrategia para obtener mano de obra barata. Se vincula esta agenda con la negativa a aumentar el salario mínimo y la necesidad de reemplazar la mano de obra inmigrante.
- Interesting that republicans seek to expand child labor while refusing to raise the minimum wage? exploiting immigrant labor for decades, now republicans hope to exploit poor children!
- Yeah marco? i know you want those kids out their working in your factories and fields for poverty wages. Project 2025 wants to roll back child labor laws.
- Not acting surprised when republican states have been changing laws so that child labor is once again prominent across republican control states. The gop has no use for education, but it has use for child labor so we can pay adults even less because you have to compete with a child for work.
- The billionaire class exploiting child labor laws overseas so they can turn quick profits god its always been children and no one cares anymore.
3. El Impacto en Sectores Peligrosos: Agricultura y Plantas de Procesamiento.
Una parte significativa de la conversación se centra en la vulnerabilidad de los niños en trabajos de alto riesgo. Se menciona con frecuencia la agricultura y las plantas de procesamiento de carne como entornos donde los menores están expuestos a pesticidas, maquinaria peligrosa y condiciones agotadoras, con una supervisión estatal insuficiente.
- Umm no farm workers of all ages?!? the next governor needs to strictly enforce child labor laws. There shouldnt be child farm workers. What the actual fuck??
- We have child farmworkers in the usa in 2025 who are being poisoned by pesticides welcome to capitalism.
- Californias child farmworkers exhausted, underpaid and toiling in toxic fields, with little state oversight appalling.
- Youre joking but republicans have rolled back child labor protection laws and want children to be able to work overnight shifts at meat processing plants and other dangerous jobs.
4. Consecuencias Sociales: Pobreza, Educación y Derechos del Niño.
Los usuarios conectan el debilitamiento de las leyes laborales con un ataque directo a la educación y la perpetuación de la pobreza. Se argumenta que los niños deben estar en las escuelas y patios de recreo, no trabajando en campos o fábricas para sobrevivir, y se critica un sistema que empuja a las familias a esta situación desesperada.
- Child laborer should be an abomination. Children belong in school and on the playground, not toiling in the fields.
- Child labor is appalling and too common in the agriculturalfood industry. Dont blame the parents these families live in a constant state of precarity and theyre just trying to get by.
- Moving education under labor is not subtle. Thats how you turn kids into workers too soon. Thats exactly what theyre aiming for!!
- Systemic poverty pushes families to put those children to work for depressed wages that worsen poverty, a trap.
