Child Labor Laws in Tri-City
273 - The Future Generations Act was passed by the Tri-City Board of Directors. One of the key points of this act was to make elementary school mandatory. As a result children under that age of 12 could no longer work in the factories and mines.
290 - After the HR Riots children under the age of 16 can no longer work dangerous jobs. Teenagers between the ages of 13-16 can still work jobs in the service industry for no more than 16 hours per week. Teenagers working delivery jobs had weight limits put on their deliveries and were made to wear yellow stripes for safety reasons, as too many were getting run over by large carts.
Apprenticeship programs for children 12 and older still remained a popular alternative to High School for 40-50% of the population. After 290 the rules to officially register an apprentiship program became more strict. These children could work in dangerous environments if it was for the purpose of learning a skilled trade and not manual labor. The proper safety equipment and education in safe practices was required or the right to take on future aprentices would be revoked.
