January 1, Chick-fil-A Caught Breaking Federal Laws
A Chick-fil-A in North Carolina was slapped with a steep fine for breaking federal child labor laws, the Department of Labor said.
The Chick-fil-A franchise, Good Name 22:1 LLC of Hendersonville, North Carolina, was fined $6,450 after investigators determined that unlawfully allowed three minor employees to “operate, load or unload a trash compactor.”
Investigators also found that the franchise paid some employees with meal vouchers rather than hourly wages — which is a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. As a result, seven employees received $235 in back wages.
“Child labor laws ensure that when young people work, the work does not jeopardize their health, well-being or educational opportunities,” said Labor Department Wage and Hour Division District Director Richard Blaylock.
“In addition, employers are responsible to pay workers for all of the hours worked and the payment must be made in cash or legal tender.”
This wasn’t the first time that a Chick-fil-A franchise was fined for violating child labor laws.
In August, a franchise in Tampa, Florida, was fined $12,478 for allowing 17 minor employees to “work past 7 p.m. or more than 3 hours during a school day between Labor Day and June 1.”
“Employers must familiarize themselves with the working conditions that come with hiring minor employees,” said Nicolas Ratmiroff, the Labor Department wage and hours district director in Tampa.
“While gaining meaningful work experience is a good thing, it should not interfere with a child’s educational opportunities.”

High Treason means crimes committed with the intent to put the Nation or parts thereof, under foreign rule or INFLUENCE.

remember when labor unions were started? Right after the War of Northern Aggression, yankees were enslaving young people (some their own children) in sweat shops for LONG hours. They created unions (socialism), so that they could not abuse them anymore. Look where we are today…. an oligarchy, those with the gold (corps) make the rules.

Please look up the definition of TREASON, where it’s found in US law, and what the SCOTUS has ruled on its application. SEDITION would be a far better word.

Nothing more than, a kick in the face of a Christian-owned entity. Purely and simply.

So you believe that because a business is “Christian” that excuses it from obeying the law?

These are franchises, like many other restaurants. Christian has nothing to do with it – when you have 1000’s of franchises individual people are bound to screw up here and there. This is a manager issue not a company wide issue

I believe the rule of law should be applied to all businesses and individuals.
Do you believe they check child labor laws at Ben and Jerry’s with the same vigor?
Did you know that our IRS targets
the applications of non profit Conservative organizations, delaying and denying their exemption status?
I could go on and on, and you probably wouldn’t have a clue about what I’m saying

does 230 attacks on church and church owned buildings, with ZERO investigations, excuse the thugs in gov’t. (FIBbers,
CIA or the Dept. of JUST US) from doing their job, that they swore an oath to We the People to perform? They suppose to work for us, not the other way around. Amerika has not been a republic since before 1865. wise up. The RED states need to secede from this evil empire. NO, you are NOT free in Amerika…. IF you can’t prove you are.

Chick-fil-a needs to educate their franchisees about labor laws that were instated decades ago for humane reasons. Child labor laws are a must , and need to be enforced. I don’t see the reason Mr. Hunt needs to make this issue a political issue. It is not. All our children, be them Republican or Democratic, need to be protected against abusive employment policies.

Political or not, he pointed out the outrageous number of serious laws being broken by the administration in Washington. How come ANY news or social network would spend time reporting this trivial breaking of the law is beyond me. And, the comment, “It’s not the first time CF has broken laws…” Well, how amazing is that? ANY AND EVERY business with multiple locations will be on the wrong side of some law, at some point. This incident means nothing, nothing at all.

It’s just another tactic of government to establish controls on the people. These articles use the word child when most of them are 17 or 18 years old, they may not be an adult but they are far from being a child! If these “children” want to work and their parents allow it, they should be able to.

The MSM are so totally focused on bringing down Christian Conservatives they are totally unaware of how they assist in actually destroying what is left of our Country without a border. Do they (MSM) honestly think the child traffickers and drug cartels are a good thing coming across the southern border and is not newsworthy. The ignorance of our media is astounding.
Biden should be impeached for dereliction of duty for protecting the safety and security of the citizens of the USA. The most incompetent and evil President in my lifetime with the third term Obama administration right behind him.
Chick-fil-A does not deserve this coverage with all their locations these are isolated incidents that are being delt with, move on.

What’s all the fuss? This is the same way these same people ran the Tscheka 100 years ago. Of course, then they got to shoot you, instead of assessing a piddling fine, but the Lubyanka dungeons and the Gulag are coming soon — and they do have the game-plan all in place.

I bet McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and the other more secular fast food restaurants are not even looked at. And since it seems that most businesses are begging for workers right now, bc most “adults” are on government assistance.
