Teen Still Cleaning Slaughterhouse Despite Employer's Child Labor Fine.

A 16-year-old migrant worker, known as Pedro, claims he is still cleaning a Kansas slaughterhouse, despite his employer, Packers Sanitation Services Inc. (PSSI), being fined $1.5 million for hiring over 100 migrant children to clean Midwest slaughterhouses. PSSI agreed to stop employing children and fired all workers found to be underage. However, Pedro claims he is still working up to seven nights a week, a job illegal for anyone younger than 18 under U.S. labor law. Pedro fears losing his paycheck would put him and his family in Guatemala in an impossible situation. PSSI is owned by the private-equity group Blackstone.
