“'We don’t allow a 12-year-old to work in an air-conditioned office,' said CARE Act supporter Reid Maki, director of Child Labor Advocacy with the National Consumers League in Washington, D.C. 'Yet U.S. law allows that same 12-year-old to work 10-12 hours a day performing back-breaking work harvesting crops — even toxic ones like tobacco — in temperatures that are often in the 90s and even 100 degrees.'”
