    ” As for deficits in U.S. labor rights, the report’s authors cited “obstacles to unionization and collective bargaining, as well as failures to guarantee safe working conditions, decent wages, and benefits.” They also noted that there is frequent use of child labor, particularly in agriculture, where children as young as 12 years old can work up to 60 hours per week.

    The authors also warned that any democratic backsliding in the U.S. would almost certainly cause human rights within its borders to further deteriorate.”

    Is it because they have so many domestic and foreign policies that abuse human rights?

    The US has an educated group licensed by the state tied by professional association that colluded with government torture of human beings as an ethical and right act.

    People look to therapists and psychologists to find what is correct human behavior.

    That is why. That has a long fucking tail regardless of the APAs “unequivocal” position now.
