In a complaint filed Wednesday that reads straight out the Great Depression, the feds requested a temporary injunction on a sanitation company that’s accused of employing children as young as 13 in “dangerous” overnight shifts at food processing plants.
filed Wednesday that reads straight out the Great Depression, the feds requested a temporary injunction on a massive sanitation company that’s accused of employing children as young as 13 in “dangerous” overnight shifts at food processing plants.after a credible tip uncovered that at least 31 children were employed to clean industrial equipment, the complaint said.
None of the children mentioned in the complaint were identified, but the filing listed their working hours as far exceeding what’s permitted under federal law for minors. All of the minors involved were Spanish speakers, the complaint said. The feds say these laws were brazenly ignored by PSSI, with one child worker—a 14-year-old student at Walnut Middle School in Grand Island—working from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., five to six days a week between December and April.
Investigators from the department’s Wage and Hour Division interviewed “several minors” during tours of each plant. They observed that “nearly all areas” of the plant contained “meat and bone cutting saws” or other dangerous power-driven machines not meant to be cleaned by children, the complaint said.
When investigators interviewed workers in person, the complaint said PSSI supervisors tried to stay close and listen in on the conversations, not moving until they were ordered to. PSSI said it used “industry-leading, best-in-class procedures” to verify identities in hiring, which includes the U.S. Gov’s E-Verify system, document verification and biometrics.
