In an extraordinary development for labor law in the United States, the Foundation for Government Accountability — a Florida-based conservative think tank — has been convincing Republicans to allow kids as young as 14 to work longer hours in arguably more dangerous conditions. A number of U.S. states, including Iowa and Arkansas, are getting on board. In a recent article, Washington Post reporter Jacob Bogage explains how campaigners are cloaking these rollbacks under cover of “parental rights.” Bogage joins Hari Sreenivasan to discuss why conservatives appear willing to put children at risk.
