The old law said, no one under 18 can work in a meat packing plant, the new law says no one under 18 can be a meat packer. It doesn't put teens to work at dangerous jobs, but allows them opportunity to work in those businesses.
- falcolas 3y ago> opportunity What an odd choice of wording - as if meat packing is some highly desirable industry that children are clamoring to get experience in (even as adults avoid it when they can).
- WillPostForFood 3y agoTo not consider work opportunity shows a highly elitist attitude. It is an opportunity to have money, to buy food, to help support family, to build a resume, to have peers. You might be too good for blue collar jobs, but they are in fact in demand by adults. 6 million adult have risked their lives and climbed over border fences for these jobs. Not everyone gets to go to Stanford a code for google, but honestly, if more bay area elite tech industry folks had a tough job in high school, they'd be better for it.
