Two 10-year-old children were found working unpaid at a McDonald’s restaurant in Louisville. According to a news release by the Wage and Hour Division, the children were working as late as 2:00AM unpaid. Wage and Hour Division District Director Karen Garnett-Civils said, “Under no circumstances should there ever be a 10-year-old child working in a fast-food kitchen around hot grills, ovens and deep fryers.”
The Department of Labor did not disclose the specific McDonald’s locations.
