“The company is undertaking a thorough audit with the staffing companies to ensure that this kind of error never happens again,” Mar-Jac Poultry said in a statement.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division have launched investigations into the incident, a spokesperson said. Any company found to be in violation could face a federal fine of more than $30,000 per incident.
OSHA’s fines mean nothing. Time to raise them to $1,000,000 per incident, 50% of which go to the families of those injured or killed … then companies might start paying attention.
Fuck fines executives and managers and the CEO need to be jailed. Fucking lying bastards.
tbh it’d be hard not to take matters into my own hands if that was one of my family members
China had huge fines. People would commit suicide to help their families. They put up nets and stopped the huge payouts to families.
But $30k is absurdly low for a death.
Make it a percentage of the annual worldwide turnover like GDPR. Companies have been very quick to make changes with GDPR’s fines of up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year.
Nobody is changing anything when killing a child only costs them US$30k and their annual revenue is estimated at US$300 million. They also had a US$7.5 million PPP loan forgiven.
Oopsie woopsie. We didn’t mean to use child labor in our dangerous work environment to save money because children are less likely to unionize. It was an accident. You hear that, regulators?
…And then it happens again a week later.
Fuck you, child murderers. Take some responsibility for what you did.
Error my ass.
The “error” was getting caught. They’ll do it again. They’ll just be sneakier about it.
