We need pinkertons to control strkers from over controlling the owners of the business.

America doesnt need to change? You think that we need to stay in the current state we are in, with banks and business failing and national debt rising exponentially? Do not blame Mexico, they have their problems but we also have our own.

Without a progessive attitude and way of thinking, we would lose what we have made progress on already. It would be like starting a research project online and you find all these great websites and you ll of a sudden no longer feel like doing it. Now that you stopped your progressive outlook on the project and took a long break, you have lost most of what you already learned and must go back a find those websites and resources over agian. If we start losing track of what we have been doing and focus on other things like business or economy (which are equally important) we may lose sight of our morals and beliefs. As a conservative beliefs and tradition are very important to me. But, at the same time I do agree that we must not stick in the past and move forward but we cant leave our past entirely or again, we would lose sight of what we are looking for as a country

Unions are in place for reasons that I could not understand why anyone, except if you were saddistic, would say that they are no longer needed. Unions are one of the best ways that we, as citizens, can demonstrate our right to freedom of speech. Without unions, employees would be slaves to factories. Imagine not having a union: no holidays, no workers comp., dangerous working conditions, long hours, and no mercy for the employees.

I am for this bill because I am a child. This bill could change my life. It restricts ne from working basically, so that would allow me to attend school and play around with my friends. Now I can have a childhood that is free from bad working conditions!!!

You need tO lower your personal profit then you could pay us the sane and the only thin that would change is what you bring into your pocket. Wealthy business owners are being horribly selfish and need to take a walk in our shoes for once!

When you pay different people different wages, you are messing up our economy. Natives won't get hired and then we have a bunh of homeless citizens. When hiring immigrants for nothing you are encouraging them to come over, pushing citizens out of work. The government needed to step in and control wages. The government should have some control on the economy, not just the businness owners looking out only for themselves.

This is great! With this I no longer have to worry about how much i'm getting paid. With a minimum wage, my wage can only go up from a fixed price.

You are slowly killing us. Slowly, but surely. Killing us emotionaly AND physically! We need time to spend with family and we need time to rest to stay healthy. Do you WANT to see your employees in severe exhuastion?!

You may be losing money but do you realize what we are losing? We are losing our lives for you! As a child worker, I need support from my parents. If they are working all the time how do you expect me to communicate with them? My parents need to have time to care for me, and I need time to get smart in school instead of working in a factory all day!

It's not only rest we are looking for! What we need is time to spend with our families, our children! Money doesn't buy happiness, and with what you're paying us, it can barely pay for food!

We can not work more than 40 hours a week! I am only 7 and i have my needs, too. I need family time, time to attend school, personal time! These corporations that are making me work longer are taking away my childhood! But, not only do the children need less time in the factorys, parents do to! How can a mother raise a child and how can a father support a child when they are in a factory 12 hours a day! These business say that an easy way to solve this is to put the children in the factory, too. This way the children are always under supervision while helping the company out. BUT THIS IS TERRIBLY WRONG. You cannot raise a child in a factory, you need family time. FAMILY is a value of mine, business owners: please make family one of your values, too!
