No, but the kids ride in the bed of a pick up, which would be quite dangerous and illegal today.

Norma's dad dies. She is an adult at the time, and though we see him die at work, and see his coffin being lowered into the ground, we don't see anyone's reaction to his death, and it isn't mentioned again.

Not exactly an anxiety attack, but the main character suddenly gets very upset and breaks down sobbing after she's bailed out of jail.

The main character is a very slim and petite woman who, at the beginning of the movie, says she's dieting when asked why she only has an apple for lunch. Later, in response to being told she's beautiful, she says she was "good at 18", but that "things have kinda slipped and slid" and that she's alright with the lights out.

A man is pretty dehumanizing to Norma Rae in a sexual context. Just mute/skip when she’s in the hotel room with him until she leaves
