The U.S. Sun: 14-year-olds to pull overnight shifts as US state moves to roll back child labor laws & combat ‘dirt cheap’ migrant work

14-year-olds to work overnight as immigrants get deported

In Florida, 16- and 17-year-olds are currently prohibited from working before 6:30 am and after 11 pm on school days.

They are also barred from working more than 30 hours a week during the school year.

A new proposal would remove all of those restrictions – including the requirement that teens get a meal break, the Miami Herald reported.

Governor Ron DeSantis supports the measure and argues it’s a way to address what he calls “dirt cheap” labor from illegal immigrants.
