Ending Child Labor: New Rules for Government Contractors

New rules aim to prevent child labor exploitation by companies working with the government. Companies will need to regularly confirm they haven't violated child labor laws, and penalties for such violations will be significantly increased. This ensures taxpayer money does not support companies breaking child labor laws.
Key points
Companies seeking government contracts must annually declare if they've had child labor law violations in the past three years.
Financial penalties for child labor law violations will be drastically increased to deter such practices.
Companies with violations that fail to implement corrective measures may be banned from government contracts for at least four years.
The Department of Labor will train its staff and other government agency personnel on identifying and preventing child labor law violations.
