Nowhere in the article it mentions it being a summer job.
It’s an actual job, fulfilled by literal children (ages 11 and up, also stated in the article). There is nothing wrong with summer jobs, but there sure is something wrong with child labour.
Working an ice cream stand, being a camp counselor, or a life guard as a 14 year old is one thing. And working at your family restaurant or shop helping dad fill orders or take phone calls is one thing. Working a day job at a factory as an 11 year old is ridiculous. The factory has a labor shortage because theu wont pay living wages. I 100% guarantee that the people who support putting literal children to work are also rabidly against immigration.
Get fucked you goddamn moron. Child labor is always wrong.

From the article:
““I was just so bored on the weekends like, you know, it can get really boring there’s not much to do in Harden,” Poppy said.”
So we can assume it’s not full-time and they are going to school
Thank god it’s not a full time job. But still, children should have better to do on the weekend than work in a Jam factory.
