more than 100 children in dangerous jobs at 13 meatpacking plants across the country
Packers Sanitation Services Inc….one of the country’s largest food safety cleaning service providers employed more than 100 children as young as 13 in dangerous jobs at 13 meat processing plants in eight states, including JBS. At Turkey Valley Farms in Nebraska and Minnesota they found 31 underage workers as young as 13. The fine PSSI paid on Thursday, $15,138 for each minor, is the maximum allowed under federal law. But investigators believe the company actually employed many more than the 102 children they verified. Under the consent judgment, Looman said, PSSI must identify and remove them from dangerous work.
