Child labor loom across nations and factories

Jim Sinegal of Costco notes monitoring overseas suppliers for child labor yet cites a Washington plant where Flor Trujillo, 15, and six other under 16 workers were sickened by carbon monoxide last July. The report visits New York Queens and a Betsy’s Things dress factory, Grayson Sewing in Texas, and a New Mexico field to show youths under 16 in sewing, folding, bagging, or picking.

Underage labor used in US farms and factories revealed

The AP finds 165 illegal child workers in 16 states in five months, from New Mexico chili fields to New York City sweatshops, with 50 children traced to more than two dozen companies including Campbell Soup and Wal-Mart. Estimates by Rutgers economist Kruse place unlawful child employment at about 290,200 last year, with 59,600 under age 14 and 13,100 in garment sweatshops. The study notes wage savings for employers and limited data to count all violators, while Labor Secretary Herman calls it a home grown version of a global issue and urges domestic reform.
