JBS, Tyson etc raised prices to have more profits than ever and then get caught exploiting children.

Yet people will still try will all their might to defend these monsters at the top.

Some threads on this causing confessions:

McDonald's paid me $4.25/hr when minimum wage here was $7.25, and worked me 1pm to 9pm five days a week as a freshman in HS. Ended up not even paying me at all and my dad thought it was a "learning moment" so he didn't help me get paid.
They had three months of 40hrs a week from a teenager doing tasks I should never have had to do, and didn't pay a fucking dime for it. Literally having the night crew clean up black fucking mold "no it's just a stain" etc,. in the basement.

This reminds me that a Hyundai subsidiary in Alabama were caught using child labor. Some were as young as 12 and hadn't attended school.

So it turns out that the kids were as young as 13, and most of them didn't speak English. The company is accused of tampering with employee files and intimidating the child workers.

Under the law, children younger than 14 aren't allowed to work. Children between 14 and 15 aren't allowed to work past 7pm during the school year, and they're only allowed to work for a maximum of 3 hours.

This company took child workers who didn't speak English, made them clean slaughterhouse equipment like bonesaws, electric knives and grinding machines, and they manipulated documents to hide the fact that they were breaking 85 year old child labor laws. This is sick.

Yeah. Honestly a company that does this should just be shut down period. A fine is going to be a drop in the bucket for them.

I worked in a bar from the age of 4 to 8, 6 hours a day and got paid in cocacola and bar fries.

I would have rather worked the slaughterhouse

People always tend to think of human trafficking in terms of sex. I wonder how many men, women, and children are disappeared and forced to work this way all over the world?

Dissolve the company. Throw everyone who knew about this in prison.

But this is America, so of course they weren't even fined.

I would guess these kids are migrants or the children of migrants. When people are undocumented then part of that is not being able to provide proof of their age which can lead to a lot of kids working.

Also not to be insensitive but the average central American man that is coming here undocumented is about 7 inches shorter than the average white or black man. Even when they are in their 20s they look like kids.

Some cleaning contractor. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the company they were contracted to knew about it but turned a blind eye. The grocery chain I work for uses them and there's usually at least one or two people there when they show up to clean overnight. So SOMEONE knew about it. Unless the contractor was smart and let them interact with the actual adults before bringing in the kids.

And any fine would be pushed on the consumers, thereby more expensive meat.
