On World Day Against Child Labor, Durbin, Delauro Introduce Bill To Ban Child Labor On Tobacco Farms

Press Release

Date: June 12, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Minors and Children Employment and Affirmative Action Drugs

"Kids as young as 12 can be recruited to work on tobacco farms where they are exposed to serious health risks like nicotine poisoning and other long-term health effects. Putting a stop to this disgraceful labor practice is common sense. I'm hopeful that with the Children Don't Belong on Tobacco Farms Act, Congress can finally act to protect these kids before it's too late."
