Protect Our Children – Don’t Weaken Child Labor Laws!
Louisiana State Legislators
Members of the Louisiana Legislature are trying to gut child labor protections with House Bill 156, which will repeal current law that requires meal breaks for minors.
This is just the first step to legalizing the exploitation of young Louisianans so they can be used as cheap labor for longer hours, with no accountability.
Generations of Americans have fought too hard for child labor protections for us to let our legislators roll them back now. Add your name to the petition and tell your legislators to say NO to HB 156!

Please oppose HB 156, which repeals requirements for employers to provide meal breaks to minors.
This bill invites exploitation of Louisiana’s children, allowing young people to be scheduled for longer hours without breaks. This will interfere with their education and threaten their general well-being. I urge you to protect our children by opposing HB 156!
