Key data missing for half of US child labor deaths, official report finds
11 days ago by Orwi to c/workreform
I'd presume a kid doing e.g. newspaper delivery and getting hit'n'run by a car is what counts towards these statistics. On one hand I want to think that a country like the US is above and beyond child labour, but on the other... I remember how 50+ years of family/kids movies made it seem normal that 12-13 year olds have to work to get some allowance/money to buy things for themselves....

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

So every 2 weeks in average you have a workplace child labour death? I'm going to go on the assumption that child means under 18 and not actual children but that's still fucked up.
