Hi gentlemen, I received an extremely odd phone call this afternoon from Darrell Allen Body Shop regarding the attached commercial. Unfortunately, Rhonda (co-owner) of DA Body Shop received a call today from NC Department of Labor regarding the attached commercial. An unknown NC resident has filed a complaint with the Labor relations board that DA Body Shop is violating child labor laws. Please note all the kids in the commercial are children of DA Body Shop employees, and she has received written authorization to have the children in the commercial. Reason I’m sending this to you: 1) Have you ran into this issue before? & 2) Are you aware of any violation(s)? Thanks for your assistance. Elsie

As per your request, I have reviewed the documentation relating to Mr. Fleck’s resignation and subsequent claim. I have researched pertinent case law and have prepared the following synopsis and recommendation for your review. As the Jinkie Pops Toy Company grows, operational changes are necessary to meet the demands of increased sales. One change that was implemented was a schedule modification for employees working on the production line. Previously, production employees were scheduled to work eight hours a day, Monday through Friday. The new schedule required
Advertisements are everywhere. They are a major part of modern day society. Whether it be a television commercial, an internet banner, or a billboard, advertisements influence people of all ages, but they affect a certain age group much more than others. Children ranging from toddlers to teenagers are exposed to thousands upon thousands of advertisements each year. Some of these advertisements are damaging to children, while others are a positive influence. Advertisements can either be used as a tool or a weapon. Food advertisements and manipulation strategies are both positive and negative, and how companies use them decides whether or not marketing to children is ethical.
“The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibited employers from discriminating against individuals who were 40-65 years old. The Act pertains to employers who have 20 or more employees for 20 or more calendar weeks(either in the current or preceding calendar year); unions with 25 or more members; employment agencies; and federal, state, and local government subunits”(Mondy, Wayne 2010 pg.62,63). Gelato Cheese Company’s entire cleaning crew is under the age of 30 and that makes them not in compliance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act law. There are some major changes that need to be made at this company in order for them to not have law suits filed against
Stage II reviewer looked at the Trails Major Rule Violation Report, Trails Critical Incident Report, Trails Stage I Report, Physical Response Debrief Report, Seclusion Room Check Sheet, Internal Abuse Allegation Report, and met with Assistant Director Ralph Krutache. The Stage II reviewer did not identify any major DYC policy violations. A few minor concerns identified:
Kelley gives several examples of different laws in different states allowing children to work long hours at young ages. One example given describes even the lack of restrictions on child labor whatsoever. “In Georgia there is no restriction whatever! A girl of six or seven years…may work eleven hours by day or by
With the effect in mind, she continues with another example of state laws that are totally disagreeable towards the eyes of the members of NAWSA. Kelley concentrates on the state of New Jersey knowing that they have the worst child labor laws in the nation. She explains that New Jersey lawmakers repealed their previous child labor laws to allow children over the age of fourteen to work overnight. (Kelley 6) The author describes the law repealing as “pitiful” and “a privilege,” using a sarcastic tone. Without this, children would have been done at work at six o'clock every day, except Friday. Kelley adds a final problem with state’s child labor laws, this time impacting the northeast. She explained to her audience that the cause of Pennsylvania lawmakers changing their child labor laws was due to the effect a twelve hour work time had affected these children. (Kelley 7) The author uses an example to exemplify that the effect of the law changes affects thousands more than the girl mentioned in the paragraph. Finally, these law changes affect only the children themselves, without any violation of the Commonwealth.
What would you do if you ever found out that one of your coworkers are doing something they shouldn’t? There are many different ways you can handle the problem. You could just let it go and do nothing, report the violation to my supervisor myself, or take care of the problem yourself and never let it go until solved.
Children are easily influenced, and this can be taken advantage of in the commercial industry. Thy have the desire to fit in and do what is considered “cool”. Many people believe that people use this desire to their own benefit in order to create profit. While it’s true children are easily manipulated by commercials, these commercials and be beneficial to the child's development. Commercials can be used to bring good ideas and good life skills to children that will lead them to being a successful adults. Commercials aimed at children are ethical because they can reinforce positive behaviors and good ideals. This is shown through articles, press and reports.
One in four adults suffers from a mental illness. From ages thirteen to eighteen, twenty percent will experience some form of mental illness. It is difficult for many teens to find the adaquete help due to insecurities. Recently an issue has arised regarding the amount of freedom schools allow their students to have in their newspapers. The Supreme court made the dissenting decision that the principal had violated the First Amendment, stating that the article “neither disrupted classwork, nor invaded the rights of others.” Although the Supreme Court has substantial evidence and arguable points, the act of the principal was violating the Constitution and the First Amendment because the journalist who wrote the article did not give any detail that could have lead to the discovery of the students behind the stories, nor did the student say anything to harm the students and their stories.

Many influential bodies in the food industry openly exploit children by presenting them with alluring commercials in an attempt to get them to develop interest in certain products. "Advertising directed to children, particularly on television, is heavily populated by commercials for foods that pose adiposity and related health risks for children when consumed in abundance" (Committee on Food Marketing and the Diets of Children and Youth 2 301). Taking this into account, it would appear that the social order is practically being forced to stand by and watch as children are used as a tool to sell products.
According to William Ramsey’s article found in Federal Communication Law Journal’s, “Rethinking Regulation of Advertising Aimed at Children,” a debate between the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and advertisers, has been in place since 1970 debating the need for regulation of advertisements aimed at children. Ramsey explains that after a thorough investigation, “the FCC issued a policy statement asking networks to voluntarily limit the amount of commercial time aired during programs directed at children” (Ramsey, 2006). The FTC agreed and released a document known as Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which stated that a major regulation must be put into place during children programming. Political and public response was so negative that Congress stepped in not only by “passing legislation limiting the FTC’s power to enforce any rule relating to children’s advertising, but also by failing to renew the FTC’s funding, in effect shutting down the agency temporarily.” It wasn’t until 1990 that another motion was put into place, Congress passed the Children’s Television Act (CTA), which “instructed the FCC to enforce

Child labor is work for children, but also harmful to their growth physically, mentally or emotionally. Children were forced to work because of their family’s extremely poor condition where they may be needed to drop out of school. In most kinds of
