Why they don't just force them shutdown? Unsafe workplace,1 teen died and 1 adult, what else you want ?? Sad just sad. Edited as mentioned on omy other comment.
The other people who work there see it as their best opportunity.
Let that sink in for a minute.
If you close that place, their life just got worse. Better to fix it.
I thought I it said 2, my fault then! Thanks for correcting me.
What's old is what's new again. Yay https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Labour_and_the_London_Poor
I aimed for their hearts and hit them in the stomach instead.
They're being fined for killing a kid? Better remove those pesky REGULATIONS so they won't be fined next time!

The neoliberalism that drives shit like this is unfortunately (and genuinely) a "both sides" issue.
The right-wing will be more openly psycopathic about it but ostensibly left-wing parties the world over are still dragging their feet on the regulations needed to force companies to behave ethically.
We desperately need to dismantle the "managed democracy" they've built where the only choices are "red neoliberal" or "blue neoliberal" before they kill us all.
2 people (one a teenager) killed and there isn't a CRIMINAL investigation?
So a childs life is only worth 212,646 dollars to the government?
No, not at all. That's what TWO kids' lives are worth.
Canned chicken of the land! Now with 80% less teen.
Now with 60% less teen....now 20% less teen....now with 5% less teen...now it just 0.0005% left teens tit (LTT).... Now with 1ppmltt...(part per million left teens tit)...look teen tits are hard to clean off stainless steel okay. That's just life..... McDonald's
The flavor is better developed, but the texture is quite chewy, longer cooking times and marinades can help. An acquired taste really. Roald Dahl's 'short story 'Pig' sums it up nicely https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_(short_story)
That's it? They should at least get fined for that kid's estimated earnings over a lifetime. Even at the current garbage minimum wage, that would be $750k.
Unfortunately this is likely an undocumented child and there will be no lawsuit over it.
“Price of doing business. Can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs.”
if you're paying for the needless slaughter of animals, you're paying for this too. buying animal products is creating the demand, and the machine will keep crushing the innocent and exploited.
Or, you know, regulate it for safety like any other industry.
If you're paying for ANY clothing you didn't make yourself, you're paying and driving demand for underage laborers in impoverished countries to make your stuff.
If you're using the internet, that costs electricity and that's (on average) produced by fossil fuels at power generators, spurring on demand for further pollution and destruction of our planet.
The above are examples of silly arguments, but do you see how you might have propped up an unrelated point about veganism/vegetarianism during a story about a dead teenager?
I 100% read “poultry professor” the first time.
Why are there even kids working there? How old was this "teen"? What is wrong with the USA (rethorical question)?
Your numbers (i assume correctness) are making it even more worse. Disgusting even. That's like fines not bound to income. A major kick in the nutsack for the poor and a slightly more expensive, but totally neglectable, parking-ticket for the rest.
Many of them are immigrant children.

CNN obviously won't identify the child, but I would not be at all surprised if the child was an immigrant.
