Aren't teabaggers great. The new teabag Governor of Maine and the Republicans are working to pass this. No wonder he took that mural down as Maine was one of the first states to pass child labor laws and the mural depicted that fight.


Maine GOP Seeks Undoing of Child Labor Protections
In Maine, Republican lawmakers are pushing two bills that would roll back parts of the state’s child labor laws. The first measure would let employers pay workers under the age of 20 a full $2.25 less per hour than Maine’s minimum wage for their first 180 days on the job. The bill would also eliminate the maximum number of hours a minor 16 years of age or older can work on a school day. The second would allow 16- and 17-year-old teenagers to work one hour later on school nights.
