Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Because of unions and the democratic party the business practice of working children in factories with very little pay in order to replace an adult worker !.( The children would work for virtually pennies a day) was eliminated This helped out for a while but in recent years the business community found out that they could go overseas to manufacture their product using once again, child labor and sweatshop labor to make their wages that they pay drop back to pennies a day again!.
