Packers Sanitation Services paid $1.5 million in civil penalties for employing minors in hazardous occupations and having them working overnight shifts at 13 meat processing facilities in eight states, a US Department of Labor investigation found. The Kieler, Wisconsin, based company employed the children to clean meat processing equipment including back saws, brisket saws and head splitters. At least three children were injured, investigators said.
“We have also conducted multiple additional trainings for hiring managers, including on spotting identity theft.” The DOL investigation began last August with an investigation of the company’s workers at JBS USA plants in Nebraska and Minnesota. In November, a complaint was filed in the US District Court of Nebraska alleging that Packers Sanitation illegally employed at least 31 children to clean dangerous power equipment.
So I guess no one pays attention to I-9’s that employees have fill out.
Well. I think they should be shut down and the management placed under arrest. Pretty simple.
Its America, nothing will happen.
I’m glad neoliberalism has brought us back to the gilded age. Great job, guys.
Packers Sanitation Services is the company mentioned in the second paragraph of the article linked. They are located everywhere, not just Wisconsin. Check to see where their office is in your town.
The article doesn't say, but how does a company hire that many children? Were they all immigrants? Were they all using fake documentation? I'm aware of paying cash off the books to migrant workers in border states... but Nebraska?
Wow. I'd heard of them child labor, but not this. Just... wow.
capitalism at its finest....just gross
Are we going to ignore anything we get from China?
How much you wanna bet the owners of this company are republicans.
Companies need more shareholder value. Worship the American religion.
Not in favour of company
Packers Sanitation Services (PSSI) in Wisconsin, employed over 100 children ages 13 to 17 to work in slaughterhouses in eight states, 6 days a week, using dangerous chemicals to clean sharp back saws, grinders, hooks, and head splitters. Free enterprise at its worse.
This country man lol
Their tiny hands are good for getting into tight spaces.
Well,..it is true.. Republicans want to work children to clean in business for profit,..which is actually better than the Democrats who would rather have sex with children and or groom them in school for sex later,..for profit…
Child labor? Hmmm. What does this sound like to you? Everyone is getting conditioned.
PSSI dh gk international ya?
This should be criminal, not just a fine imo.
In other news from 1906, hotdogs prices have soared to a nickel a piece.
Hard to believe. Sounds like trumped up charges
At least they aren’t named… Packers United Sanitational Services Inc.
I Bet It Is A Republician State, Without Reading The Article!!!!!
Those little fingers can really get into the spaces between the jagged saw teeth
Lemme guess: wealthy/corporate/billionaire class funded lobbying and deregulation is to blame?
