78% Informative
Labor Department says QSI employed 54 children at 13 meatpacking plants in eight states on overnight shifts sanitizing industrial carving and slicing machines.
QSI disputes the way the Department describes the problem and points out that investigators weren't able to find any current juvenile workers.
Earlier this week , Perdue Farms agreed to pay $4 million after children were found working at one of its chicken processing plants in Virginia .
Perdue was employing children at a Virginia plant using dangerous knives and other tools to slaughter chicken.
The JBS agreement didn't include a finding that children were working directly for that company.
The Labor Department has more than 1,000 open child labor investigations it is pursuing.
Companies are also expected to set up hotlines where people can report any child labor concerns.
