"Here we are, nearly 85 yrs after the #FLSA was passed, & our country is facing another child labor crisis... Congress needs to step up."

On the World Day Against #ChildLabor, most govts celebrate the progress they've made to END child exploitation. But in the #US, some legislators will be celebrating the progress made to INCREASE it.
Until we #EndUSChildLabor, the United States is #NotSafeForKids.

Finally, @Hyundai is being held liable for #ChildLabor in its supply chain. @USDOL is suing Hyundai & its suppliers for using oppressive child labor in manufacturing car parts - including a 13yr-old girl who worked up to 60 hrs per week #EndUSChildLabor

We don't let kids smoke #tobacco because it's harmful. But in the #US, it's legal for 12yr-olds to work in toxic tobacco fields. Today is #WorldNoTobaccoDay, and banning #ChildLabor in tobacco is a no-brainer - write to legislators now! #EndUSChildLabor #TobaccoExposed

EPI stands with The Campaign to #EndUSChildLabor to make sure ALL kids are protected by strong federal and state laws. Legislators must strengthen the rights of young workers in the face of a coordinated, industry-backed effort to roll back child labor protections.
