A company illegally employed more than 100 minors to clean razor-sharp saws using hazardous chemicals, US Department of Labor said.
Packers Sanitation Services paid $1.5 million in civil penalties for employing minors in hazardous occupations and having them working overnight shifts at 13 meat processing facilities in eight states, a US Department of Labor investigation found. The Kieler, Wisconsin, based company employed the children to clean meat processing equipment including back saws, brisket saws and head splitters. At least three children were injured, investigators said.
“We have also conducted multiple additional trainings for hiring managers, including on spotting identity theft.” The DOL investigation began last August with an investigation of the company’s workers at JBS USA plants in Nebraska and Minnesota. In November, a complaint was filed in the US District Court of Nebraska alleging that Packers Sanitation illegally employed at least 31 children to clean dangerous power equipment.
