A Tennessee-based janitorial LLC has been accused of illegally employing children as young as 13 to clean dangerous equipment at slaughterhouses during overnight shifts. The company faces fines and a temporary restraining order for violating child labor laws. The U.S. Department of Labor's investigation revealed over 100 minors were involved in cleaning slaughterhouses across multiple states, with one 14-year-old suffering an arm injury in the process. The United Auto Workers (UAW) has committed $40 million to organizing non-union auto and battery workers in the U.S. over the next two years.
