Divalicious Candi shares Part 2 of thesis on Child Labor from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics!

I devoured this history & noticed similarities w/ indigenous child labor in the mines of my Dad's native country (Bolivia). Currently, Republicans are seeking to remove Child Labor protections in the US so we can relive horrors of the past, enslaving immigrant children for profit https://t.co/pdn0G7rYjy

Part 1 on US child labor history from the Bureau of Labor Statistics- FASCINATING! "Freed" slaves post-Civil War essentially re-enslaved as "apprentices." "Padrones" lured children from Italy to work as street musicians. "Newsies"-miners-shuckers-mills-etc https://t.co/vxYfrWmeIZ pic.twitter.com/JgjXpbApaw

Republicans are pushing bills to exploit child labor (esp. the children of IMMIGRANTS & the POOR), removing requirements for work permits & proof of age, allowing children to serve alcohol & work in fields w/ dangerous pesticides during crucial development https://t.co/eoTWjYF2FC

Divalicious Candi shares the history of child labor in the US!

Learn about the pitiful history of child labor in the USA- which STILL EXISTS- especially in the agricultural & garment industries- IMMIGRANT children are targeted (forgoing education they need to progress) & loopholes in laws allow them to be paid less https://t.co/XNtp5UC1UZ
