Preview: A cleaning company contracted by JBS Meat Packing was caught hiring kids too young to work legally for the nasty job of cleaning up chemicals. Eight states have been documented as employing underage kids in plants, and Iowa’s Governor Kim Reynolds is trying to lower the legal age for kids to work to 14. President Biden is being pushed to lead the fight on child labor. Should that happen, it will be a safe bet that kids working in meat packing plants will be included in the Biden initiative.
Rick Barrett reports for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Wisconsin company illegally employed more than 100 children in hazardous work.
