Two 10-year-old children were found working at a Louisville McDonald's restaurant - sometimes until 2 a.m. - the US Department of Labor said Tuesday.
The revelation was part of an investigation into the child labor law violations in the Southeast. The agency also found three franchisees that own more than 60 McDonald's locations in Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland and Ohio, "employed 305 children to work more than the legally permitted hours and perform tasks prohibited by law for young workers," the Labor Department said in a statement.
Tiffanie Boyd, senior vice president and chief people officer at McDonald's USA, told CNN: "These reports are unacceptable, deeply troubling and run afoul of the high expectations we have for the entire McDonald's brand ... We are committed to ensuring our franchisees have the resources they need to foster safe workplaces for all employees and maintain compliance with all labor laws.
Two of the other franchisees, Archways Richwood and Bell Restaurant Group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
