“17-year-old worker was pulled into woodchipper before he died, feds say.”

“A tree service company allowed three minors to use a woodchipper — forbidden under federal child labor laws — before one of them was killed using the machine, according to federal authorities.

The 17-year-old worker was feeding “entangled material” into the woodchipper on Aug. 9 at a work site in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, when he was “partially pulled” in, the U.S. Department of Labor said in a Feb. 13 news release. He later died of his injuries.”

A lot of times there is no justice, but this particular company probably

doesn’t own a senator or congressperson.
