Should've been careful around those sharp talons.
That's a good point. I don't know anything about poultry processing plants, but is there dangerous (to human) equipment in these facilities, and why would a 16 year old be using said equipment? I remember working at Wendy's and I wasn't even allowed to use the chicken fryer at that age.
Republicans have been rolling back child labor regulations and protections in multiple states claiming it will save us from the labor shortage. I'm surprised it has taken me this long to see a story about the predictably disastrous results of this exploitative behavior. In the US capitalism is winning and the citizens of this country are losing.
July 1st, a 16-year-old died in a sawmill accident in northern Wisconsin. At the same time, the gerrymandered-as-hell state legislature is trying to eliminate child labor laws. Thank god we currently have a governor with a modicum of decency to veto the garbage.
"Immigrants will take our jobs!"
"No one wants to work anymore!"
"Let's hire children to fix the labor shortages"
