Packers Sanitation Services paid a $1.5 million fine yesterday for allegedly violating child labor laws.

The company provides sanitation services to the biggest companies in the meat biz, like JBS Foods and Tyson. The Department of Labor claims it had at least 102 kids, some as young as 13 years old, cleaning 13 meatpacking plants during overnight shifts.

At least one child reportedly suffered from burns on their face from the strong chemicals used on the job.
