to clean slaughterhouses hired the same child twice under different names, an internal company document shows.

Wisconsin-based PSSI, which is owned by the investment management company Blackstone, was cited by the U.S. Labor Department on Friday for “systemic” child labor violations that indicated “a corporate-wide failure” stretching across 13 locations in eight states. Shannon Rebolledo, a 17-year veteran of the Labor Department who led the investigation into PSSI’s use of child labor, said that she had “never seen child labor violations to this extent” and that the employees in a Grand Island, Nebraska, plant tried to hide evidence by deleting digital messages during the investigation.

The former manager said that while some employees presenting false documents were turned away, it was common for workers who presented obviously false IDs to get hired as long as the documents stated they were legal and of age. “You can look at the ID and tell the person on the ID is not even close to the person standing in front of you.”

Their asses need to be shut down this is inhumane

Well. I certainly will never hire “Kidee Kleaners” again!

You can’t tell me employees couldn’t see they were kids. Not that difficult to contact a news company. Or send and anonymous letter to News

Those kids should be working in coal mines like real men

This is Joe Magoo’s America !

Feds bust company using child labor to clean meatpacking plantsAlex Wagner reports on the U.S. Labor Department finding 102 children as young as 13 working dangerous late-shift jobs cleaning meatpacking plants, and points out a surprising shift in state-level legislation to loosen restrictions on working age and the types of jobs children can work. Well at the rate we are going economically we are going to need kids to work to help support their families and provide enough for all the taxes we keep getting pinned on us I was sure the story was about Chinese multistorey pighouse, but no It is about using (abusing) children in overnight cleaning jobs at American slaughterhouses. An outrage! Its all part of Biden's American Jobs plan!
