In the Green Forest application, a mother of middle schoolers overheard children between the ages of 11 and 13 talk about their employment at that plant on the night shift, which ran from 11 p.m. to around 7 or 8 a.m. The complainant said they were heard talking about how they did not know how to get money from their paycheck out of an ATM.

Investigators assigned in July conducted observations outside of both plants and watched workers entering and leaving. They found during the observations multiple people who appeared to be “potentially minor employees below the age of 16,” court docs said.

One of the investigators noted the children were believed to have been working in possibly hazardous conditions.

What is it with meat processing plants in particular and child labour? I feel like we hear about this sort of thing all of the time.
I can't help but wonder if these kids were trafficked.
