I just read a report by the Labor Department where 13 meat packers sanitation services hired more than 100 minors in their meatpacking plants, where they were cleaning dangerous industrial equipment using hazardous chemicals. It included 13, 14 and 15-year-olds.
Whould've thunk it? Child labor, in other words, explotation of children in the United States. The 13 meat facilities were located in Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Tennessee and Texas.
These companies need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
