“But their signs said ‘Will work for food.’”
Did the owner wash their feet?
Operating a trash compactor? Really?
I was doing far more dangerous things than that in my teens….
probably owned by “immigrants” who get government grants to purchase businesses that native born Americans don’t “qualify” for!
Your country has been invaded and all of your values and heritage has been erased! Nice job neocons and leftists! You support satan and the one-world, borderless government coming soon to a world near you!
Oh heck, when I was 17 I was operating a chopper attachment on a Hobart mixer that was far more dangerous than any trash compactor.
The headline made it sound like the restaurant had 12 year olds running the fryer. Chick-Fil-A usually pays more than the competition and is very selective in hirings, so the headline struck me as odd.
They broke the law and got fined. Not seeing why this has to be national news.
Stupid karens!! They were working and earning. They were staying out of trouble. The owner is a sht for not paying them in cash. but the teens were trying to work.
The union thugs once sued my sister-in-law’s supermarket employer because she opened the door for a delivery truck to deliver it’s stuff and the official union thug door operator wasn’t at work at that time. Pushing a button is pretty hazardous.
The kids should be doing something safe like running around the parking lot taking orders from the lines of cars. I’m surprised the local Chick-fil-A doesn’t lose a couple employees a day the way they go among the cars without looking.
“Federal regulations surrounding child labor prohibit employed minors to perform hazardous jobs.”
Hmm, what’s the statute of limitations? I could sue my dad for making me handle fiberglass insulation without protective equipment and spraypaint cabinets with no ventilation...
I'm not sure though if it was legally illegal when I was 9yo and walking through a field tossing junk wood on a flatbed trailer pulled by a 1mph tractor? In fairness though, I am compelled to mention that I was eventually promoted to driving the tractor and my cousins and little sister doing the wood tossing. Or when I was a 13yo paperboy on a bike at 5am, 4am Sundays? Or at 15yo when I worked a summer job for a suburban town on the drainage ditch clearing crew driving a tractor and swinging a weed hook?
Should I sue? Oh my gawd was I abused at a tender age?
Good thing these nannies didn’t visit the farms and ranches I grew up near. Child labor was mandatory.
Chik-fil-a violating child labor laws is nothing — they support drag queen grooming sessions!
Don’t buy from them unless you are a groomer.
