D18 hours per school week

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A sympathy strike occurs when non-striking workers don't cross the picket line of striking workers. Answer option B is incorrect. The term scab is a derogative term by which picketers often call workers who cross the picket line. Answer option A is incorrect. The common situs picketing happens when members of a picketing labor union picket a workplace in which multiple employers work. This could include employers who the picketers don't have a disagreement with. Answer option D is incorrect. A wildcat strike is when a collective bargaining agreement restricts strikes, but workers strike anyway.

I thought they could only work 3 hours on school days!

Wait, can they really work 18 hours a week? Seems a bit much.

I’m confused about the difference between school days and non-school days. Does that affect the total hours allowed?

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify violations of child labor laws, and I think it was about the total hours in a week.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like option D might be the one that exceeds the allowed hours for a 15-year-old.

I think I remember that there are specific limits on how many hours a minor can work during school weeks.

Hmm, not sure about this one. The child labor provisions have a lot of rules, I'll have to think it through carefully.

Haha, this is a tricky one. Maybe we should just put them to work 24/7 and see what happens! Just kidding, of course. Option B is the way to go.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option D seems a bit high, 18 hours per school week seems like a lot for a 15-year-old.

Option B is clearly the correct answer. The FLSA limits 15-year-olds to 4 hours of work per school day, not 8 hours.
