Just Say No to Child Labor in Ohio In March, the Ohio Senate passed Senate Bill 30, which would allow employers to schedule children ages 14 and 15 for work as late as 9:00 p.m., beyond the 7:00 p.m. limit maintained by federal law. We expect the Ohio House to vote on and pass this bill in the coming days. Then it will go to Governor Dewine to be signed into law. The Governor says he has a commitment to Ohio children, and we need all hands on deck urging him to veto this bill. Not only is it in violation of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, it's just plain wrong for our kids. Please sign on and share, we will be delivering the petition, with all our names, in person when the time comes for him to consider signing.

SB 50 passed out of the Ohio House yesterday. It would allow employers to schedule kids ages 14 and 15 as late as 9pm, beyond the 7pm limit set by federal law.

Child labor is not the solution to adult workforce issues.

Tell the governor to veto SB 50: actionnetwork.org/petitions/sa...

SB 50 weakens protections designed to keep children safe & focused on school. Worker Centers across the state are coming together to oppose this bill.

----
Ordenanza de Ley, SB 50 debilita las protecciones diseñadas para mantener a los niños seguros y enfocados en la escuela.

Ending DALE hurts us all. Immigrant workers are more likely to be injured or killed on the worksite & are more than 2x as likely to experience minimum wage violations.
El fin del Programa DALE nos afecta a todos.

Esto significa que a los empleadores NO se les permite preguntarte sobre tu historial salarial.
