Labor Leaders Introduce New, Bold Legislation to End Abusive Child Labor

Press Release

Date: June 29, 2023
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Minors and Children Employment and Affirmative Action

"In 2023, oppressive child labor practices should be a lesson taught in history classes--not an ongoing crisis across America. Regrettably, recent reporting has demonstrated that children continue to lose their lives and suffer devastating injuries because they work in hazardous jobs. Children should be learning and growing in schools, not risking their safety and lives in dangerous workplaces. The Protecting Children Act takes long-overdue steps to strengthen child labor laws and implement serious consequences for endangering children on the job. This is the bold solution we need to help finally put an end to abusive child labor in America."
