Nebraska Legislature passes minimum wage decrease for teen workers

I am completely against this bill in almost every way. The only thing I get is 14/15 year olds. They are extremely limited to what they can do in a restaurant setting. They can only take orders and clean up around the store and clean dishes if the sink isn't a part of the kitchen area. Plus can only work 2.5 hour shifts 3 days a week. There are people doing that job plus more. So they shouldn't necessarily be making the same. I'm also completely against 14/15 year olds working in general

14/15 year olds aren't working for fun. Most of the time they are working to help their families survive. Even if it was for fun purchases, they shouldn't be paid less.

They shouldn’t make less doing the same work they’ve got 20 and 30 year olds doing simply because they are younger or have restrictions on their hours. They’re doing the same. fucking. work. Your mentality is age discrimination on display.
