NEW YORK, Feb 10 - Thirty-three members of Congress are urging the U.S. Labor Secretary to seek strong and swift penalties against those responsible for child labor in automotive plants after a Reuters investigation found kids as young as 12 working in Alabama factories that make parts for Hyundai Motor Co and Kia Corp.
The letter, reviewed by Reuters, was sent to the secretary's office on Friday, a spokesperson for Kildee said. In addition to Kildee and other Michigan lawmakers, signatories include representatives from California, New York, Massachusetts and 12 other states. In a statement, Hyundai said the company "agrees that child labor is entirely unacceptable," adding that it was "disappointed" the letter did not take into account "comprehensive actions we have taken in collaboration with the Department of Labor to address the allegations of underage workers at certain suppliers." The Labor Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
