    And it’s clear you haven’t actually read the paper you’re linking given that in that very investigation overview they describe the employers as the issue and not the industry as a whole.

    Also, I like how you’ve just ignored all my notes about your own use of slave labour and child labour in your food and the device your using to continue bitching about the problem as well as misrepresenting the issues noted in the very paper you linked.

    I’m going to chalk this up to incompetence and block you, but yes “well played” you “definitely got me”.

    By the way, since it’s clear you did not read the paper:

    “The safety of young workers and significant reductions in child labor violations are top priorities for the U.S. Department of Labor,” said Principal Deputy Wage and Hour Division Administrator Jessica Looman. “Employers who choose to hire young workers have a legal responsibility to know and abide by the federal laws that govern their employment. These obligations include eliminating all exposures to hazardous occupations and prohibited equipment, and preventing young workers from suffering serious injuries or worse.”

    In case you can’t understand what is being said the TL:DR is “Bad employers paying off corrupt politicians to weaken employment restrictions for young workers and the same bad employers ignoring or reducing safety training and safety equipment”.
