Here’s something I learned today. We are sending children to do these jobs again. I really had hoped that we as a society had moved beyond these kinds of horrors. These plants shouldn’t exist and we certainly shouldn’t be sending children into them. #MeatPacking #osha #ChildLabor

Lauren Kaori Gurley: U.S. fines firm $1.5 million for hiring kids to clean #meatpacking plants: Packers Sanitation Services allegedly employed minors as young as 13 to use dangerous chemicals to clean razor-sharp saws and other equipment
"The company, Packers Sanitation Services, allegedly employed minors as young as 13 to use dangerous chemicals to clean 'razor-sharp saws,' head splitters and other high-risk equipment at 13 meatpacking facilities. The plants are operated by some of the country’s most powerful meat-processing companies, including JBS Foods, Tyson and Cargill. Those companies were not charged or fined."
Corporations want to return us to the #libertarian #hellscape of child labor in dangerous occupations.

73 followers · 1263 posts · Server masto.aiAn Iowa state Senator Jason Schultz (R) wants to change child labor laws to allow 14 and 15 year olds to work in the meat packing industry. While I find it atrocious that a Family Values man would strip away the childhood of an Iowa teen, I find the line in the bill that creates a separate standard for child labor by shielding the business from civil liability if a youth worker becomes sick, injured or dies to be beyond words.

Amid these violations, legislation have been introduced in several R states to roll back child labor protections. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/11/us-child-labor-laws-violations?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
