A couple of highlights: > KIELER, WI – One of the nation’s largest food safety sanitation services providers has paid $1.5 million in civil money penalties after the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found the company employed at least 102 children – from 13 to 17 years of age – in hazardous occupations and had them working overnight shifts at 13 meat processing facilities in eight states. > Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the department assessed PSSI $15,138 for each minor-aged employee who was employed in violation of the law. The amount is the maximum civil money penalty allowed by federal law. Child labor is one issue to deal with but I am getting pissed off at the non-enforcement/selective enforcement of laws we are seeing in society, it doesn't matter what laws we have if they aren't enforced and routinely ignored.
