APPLETON, Wis.—Three Peterson children decided Wednesday to establish a labor union in order to improve workplace conditions in their father’s front and back yards, sources told Cardinal reporters. George, 9, Megan, 11, and Travis, 12, organized the Youth Outdoor Labor Organization (YOLO), in response to the increasingly dissatisfying pay and torturous conditions.

“My siblings and I have been displaying expertise in weeding, watering and fertilizing over the last few summers,” YOLO spokesperson Travis Peterson said. “We refuse to continue working until our $5 an hour wage is raised and our 4-hour work week is decreased.”

According to their father, Thomas Peterson, this is the second time his employees stopped showing up for work.

“Last August the kids wouldn’t even go out there until I promised to take them out for ice cream after each shift,” Peterson explained. “But I guess even that just isn’t enough anymore. I don’t know where these brats get these ideas.”

Cardinal investigators reached out to legal proceedings expert and mother Eileen Peterson for comment on the matter.
