Last week, two 17 year olds were critically injured in Oklahoma when they were pulled into a grain augur while on the job. Responders had to cut the augur to free the boys, who were flown to a hospital with severe leg injuries.
Yet the White House continues to sit on new child labor rules proposed last year by the Department of Labor that some safety advocates say could have prevented that accident.
**Opinion**
What's the hold up on this!? Oh, let me guess. Wealthy business owners want to subject underage workers to unduly harsh/unsafe working environments so that they can save a few dollars per day. Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense. SMH.
