Slaughterhouses Employing Kids
Lee Camp says the recent discovery of more than 100 children working with bone saws in piles of guts at various slaughterhouses around the country is a clear violation of child labor laws.
The children were employed in hazardous conditions by Packers Sanitation Services Inc., which drew a paltry $1.5 million fine from the U.S. Department of Labor. “It’s basically a parking ticket for corporate America,” Camp says. “This shows how much we’ve become a third-world country.” He elaborates, plus discusses the country’s banking drama and what he calls the seismic peace agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
