This is what happens when your government loves business more than people. Do not feed the corporations. They will do this to you too.

So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.
An Uneducated Labor Force also ensure those laborers can't compete for better positions, or demand better conditions.

I'm not against letting teenagers work as long as there are protections. Removing guaranteed meals and overnight work? Nah.
If they’re removing these protections for teens what are they doing to the rights of adult employees?

So they gonna get the right to vote? Cause if they are going to be treated as adult they should get vote.
Let's also decrease liquor and smokes to 8 while we are at it.
Also remove child support cause they are grown up to get their own jobs and health insurance.

That guaranteed meal break should be extended, not rolled back. After 4 hours every worker should have a 30 minute break to eat. It's not just humane, it's common sense that fed people work better. Even if you exclude the 30 minutes from their hours, which I bet was already what was going on.
