The working conditions of children.
an offshoot of the film thread.
Just ftr, union child actors have their rights protected in a couple of ways. State laws control in local productions, but California law covers its citizens even on location shoots. This is a brief description of that. http://mail.tdmedia.com/cgi-bin/l/se...20050715100003 Non-union actors, such as dominate the independent movie business have fewer protections, whatever their age, but the California law is still applicable to minors. The employment of minor children has gotten to be such a rarity in Western countries that it is a logical source of concern. And, imo, as the power of unions wanes, children, as all other workers down the ladder, will feel the brunt. But I didn't want anyone to feel NO ONE took an interest in these vulnerable kids. |
