The Department of Labor received two separate tips that minors were possibly working at two Tyson Foods plants in Arkansas.
Tyson Foods is facing an investigation over claims that it employed underaged children at its processing plants. The Houston District Office for the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor is conducting a probe of the poultry processing company after court documents in the Western District of Arkansas showed allegations of child labor at Tyson processing plants.
In an inspection application for the Tyson Food Rogers plant, a teacher at an Arkansas school provided an anonymous tip to the Wage and Hour Division informing the agency that one of her 14-year-old students talked about working at the Tyson plant with his mom during the summer.
