Senator Hugo Black drafted the original bill and with the backing of the president at that time Franklin Roosevelt, it passed with no trouble. It covers all kinds of issues meant to protect the labor force. The number of hours a worker can have before businesses had to pay extra wages. The age limits for workers in certain dangerous jobs and not allowing children age 16 years old or younger to work during school hours. It has been revised many times over the years the most recent being in 2011. The act amended on May 25, 2007 increased the mandatory minimum wage from $5.15 an hour to $7.25 an hour. This source would be the main subject or article that I am opposing.
