Child Labor Charges Filed Against Agriprocessors

September 9, 2008

(Via Mark) The owner and plant managers of Agriprocessors have finally been charged with child labor violations. How many counts is the owner and his henchmen facing? Oh, about 9300 misdemeanors. The best part is the company’s response:

Yep, it’s all the underage workers’ fault. Link.
