Packers Sanitation Services is said to have employed 31 children, some as young as 13, cleaning up slaughterhouses with severe chemicals during the NIGHT SHIFTS.
This, the 31 children employed to work at night handling chemicals with shit and blood, is in one of the facilities investigated by NLRB. The company operates another 400 sites.
This country is FUCKED UP. We haven't even said goodbye to the kind of medieval exploitation, let alone made the world a better place.
We shouldn't waste our breath on discussing how to tax these people. We should take all of their shit and jail them for life.
Edit: for those who aren't entirely confident that these are children we're talking here,
” One child interviewed by DOL investigators reported that they worked for PSSI starting when they were 13, cleaning machinery on the “kill floor” at one of the plants. The 14-year-old worked more than 18 hours per week during overnight shifts, and suffered a burn injury from the cleaning chemicals they used.
Another child reported working from 11:00 pm to 5:00 am five to six days per week for four months when they were 14. They also reported suffering chemical burns and said they fell asleep in their middle school classes and missed school due to their grueling work schedule.”
