Nebraska, Indiana and West Virginia Republicans have all rolled back child labor regulations while the number of violations has risen fivefold in the last decade
The number of child labor violations has risen fivefold in the last 10 years, but Republicans across the US are continuing to propose and pass legislation that rolls back protections or regulations for workers under the age of 18.
Republicans in Nebraska, Indiana and West Virginia have successfully passed legislation in 2026 rolling back child labor regulations, with legislation led by Republicans pending in other states, including Florida, Missouri and Virginia.
The efforts to roll back child labor protections at the state level, with the ultimate goal of eroding federal standards, were outlined in Project 2025, the rightwing Heritage Foundation thinktank’s controversial blueprint for more conservative government.
Donald trump and the entire Republican Party are walking down the street and they see a kid playing outside
Don says “hey, you guys wanna fuck that kid?”
The entire Republican Party goes “out of what?!”
Just look at those plucky young entrepreneurial spirits, unfettered by pesky bleeding heart liberal regulations! Soon we will return to those glorious days of old!
The children, the children yearn for the mines.
Republicans DO NOT know how to care for children past emotybgestite , let alone vote for someone honest. 2016-2020, 2025-Now, History has shown the world. Conservatives have ruined things.
Republicans are villains
And this is a surprise how?
So upsetting that killing them, easy as it might be, would fix absolutely nothing.
