Sign on to support the CARE act.. Protect farmworker children

[Guest guest]

The Children's Act For Responsible Employment (The CARE ACT, HR 3564)would close

some of the loopholes in the Fair Labor Standards Act that currently allow

children as young as age 16 to work in hazardous agricultural jobs. It would

also strengthen protections for child farmworkers by removing current exemptions

for employers of non-family-member child agricultural workers.
