Packers Sanitation Services, based in Wisconsin, paid $1.5 million to the U.S. Department of Labor after an investigation found it employed children in dangerous jobs in eight different states.
Pathetic. It was a systemic policy and several children were injured as a result.
yeah there's zero reason not to do this if that's the punishment lol
assuming they're getting paid minimum wage, it's pretty much the same as the salary would be. So mathematically it works out to $15 an hour salary, wages paid + fines, which is likely what you'd be paying legal workers, but that's only if you get caught.
If you don't get caught then congrats you found a new source of minimum wage workers. That's assuming they're even getting minimum.
A fine like that for a company that makes so much is basically saying "nbd, carry on"
100k per kid
Less, it's 14k per kid.
Oh fuck I got my factors messed up. Yeah, that's literally less than what they probably saved in wages by hitting children

Revenue isn't the same as profit. The article doesn't actually state how much they make a year, it could be $1.5 million for all we know
