WASHINGTON (DTN) -- The Labor Department on Thursday announced it would withdraw its controversial proposed rule dealing with children who work on farms and would not pursue its revision as long as President Barack Obama is in office.
In a news release, the department said it would withdraw the entire rule -- the section dealing with the children of farmers who own or operate the farm, which the agency already announced it would repropose, and the portion of the rule that would affect neighborhood youths and migrant worker children who are employed on the farm.
