The U.S. Department of Labor alleges an investigation uncovered a cleaning company hired more than 30 children to work in Minnesota and Nebraska slaughterhouses and meat processing facilities under hazardous conditions.
The lawsuit filed in Nebraska court on Thursday says investigators found at least 31 children aged 13 to 17 worked for the cleaning subcontractor Packers Sanitation Services at JBS plants in Grand Island, Nebraska, and Worthington, Minnesota, along with Turkey Valley Farms in Marshall, Minnesota.
The lawsuit states the teens would often work overnight shifts and attend school during the day. It also wasn’t uncommon for minors to use a different name while at work. Since the initial investigation, WDH began looking into other locations because the department has concerns that "PSSI might be employing minors at other locations." WDH reviewed photographs from eight plants and believes that based on workers' appearances, some could be minors, according to court documents.
