That sounds like a work safety issue, not a child labour issue.

That sounds like a work safety issue, not a child labour issue.
- jackvalentine 4y agoThe two aren’t unrelated - kids can’t advocate for themselves like an adult can. In my state it’s illegal for people under 18 to do hazardous work for this reason. I don’t know if tobacco picking would count as hazardous but other jobs with exposure to chemicals do.
- arcticbull 4y agoIt’s both, children can’t report workplace issues because they don’t know what they’re looking for, and nobody would believe them anyways.
- kube-system 4y agoThat applies to many adults too. People don’t automatically become familiar with labor law when they turn 18, nor is labor law a part of public school curriculum.
