Chipotle was hit with a $1.3 million fine over more than 13,000 child labor violations at its Massachusetts restaurants, the states attorney general announced Monday.

Attorney General Maura Healey ordered the largest child labor penalty ever issued by the state against the Mexican restaurant chain after finding an estimated 13,253 child labor violations in its more than 50 locations.

Chipotle is a major national restaurant chain that employs thousands of young people across the country and it has a duty to ensure minors are safe working in its restaurants, Healey said in a statement. We hope these citations send a message to other fast food chains and restaurants that they cannot violate our child labor laws and put young people at risk.

The fine detailed that Chipotle had employees under the age of 18 working past midnight and for more than 48 hours a week. Teenagers told investigators their hours of work were so long that it was preventing them from keeping up with their schoolwork. The company also regularly hired minors without work permits.

The settlement total is closer to $2 million, including penalties for earned sick time violations in which managers granted employees paid time off only for certain illnesses. The violations also include failure to keep accurate records and pay timely wages. Lastly, the company was ordered a voluntary $500,000 payout to a state youth worker fund dedicated to education, enforcement and training.

TBQH it makes sense they were able to get away with ordering teenagers to overwork themselves. They know stupid young people are obsessed with Chipotle, so anyone in that age demographic would probably gladly pledge their life for it lol.

Not victim-blaming, here. It was a joke taking a potshot at millenials who are fascinated by 'babby's first burrito' joint.

It's part of the restaurant business. There's a lot of clean up and food prep that needs to be done after the doors close. Don't know if they had trouble hiring, or were just too plain cheap.

Millenials aren't minors.

When I was in high school, I would have loved to get that many hours at my job (especially during summer break). I don't think Chipotle should be punished for this.

Big companies should really be fined 100 times the suggested amount. It should be a rule. How else will they learn if they're not being hurt by the fine?
