FLSA 1938
In 1938, grown-ups in the United States made a law called the FLSA. FLSA means Fair Labor Standards Act. This law is a set of rules that tells employers how they should treat their workers. It says that workers should be paid a minimum amount of money for every hour that they work, and it also says that workers should be paid extra if they work more than 40 hours in one week.
The law also says that kids who are under 16 years old can only work certain jobs, and they can only work a certain amount of hours. This is to make sure that kids can go to school and learn things, and also to keep them safe from doing dangerous work.
The FLSA was made so that workers could have fair treatment and be protected from getting paid too little or working too much. Even today, bosses have to follow these rules to make sure that workers are safe and happy at their jobs.
