The Maine GOP has decided they'll help get the economy back on track by putting the state's child labor laws on the chopping block.

Their proposals would allow kids to work longer hours during the school week for pay that is below the minimum wage. 

Such laws are simply another example of Republican attacks on working people and would distract students from their education while creating a source of cheap labor for state businesses. 

Child labor laws in Maine were first enacted in 1847, and have been progressively strengthened to protect kids. Join Change.org and tell Maine Republicans to end their attack on the state's child labor laws.
