The FLSA was drafted in 1983 by senator Hugo Black. It focuses on giving workers and children the rights they deserve. Workers must be paid minimum wage and overtime pay must be 1 1/2 times regular pay. Children under the age of 18 cannot do certain dangerous jobs and and children under the age of 16 cannot work. 700,000 workers where affected by the FlSA and it also helped to end the great depression. This also helped to stop child labor and it gave people the amount of money they deserve so they can work less hours but still provide for themselves and or families.
