Is it possible this 'subsidiary' company hired some illegal border jumpers who lied about their age.
..But illegals wouldn't lie, would they?
I remain skeptical, since such child labor is forbidden throughout the US.. There must be more to the story..
1) Being a "subsidiary" company, they must produce for other manufacturers, who are they?
2) Is Hyundai or others, responsible for what other companies do?
3) Is this a "trap" set by competition?
If you scroll down under the video offered, you find some replies .. this one seems to come from somebody
Who is "in the know".

So, Steve.
I work in a "METAL STAMPING PLANT"!
Really. I see this often. Mostly young females, occasionally a young male. They are always, at our plant anyway, Latin American. They are also always employed and verified by the staffing agency that provides them. I think the couple points that you struggled with can be explained mostly by the way they are surrounded and protected by the older more established agency employees. Many who seem to take them under their wing and kind of keep them from having difficult conversations with others. The other part, at least where I work, is that they usually don't speak English at all and they are very shy and another is usually speaking for them. I have more than once wondered and even questioned the age of some of these Temps, but no straight answer is available. Often we have what appears to be a complete family and they support each other in keeping their situation private.
I think ultimately the agencies, who are desperate for help, are the most responsible for vetting the workers eligibility since very often they have a very fluent Spanish speaking staff who should be able to spot the nuances of a child who is clearly not ready to work in a metal stamping plant!
P.S. we do, at least, have an excellent safety record. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before we start saying "filthy Alabama", perhaps we may look at ourselves.. Do I wear any of those Asian made "name brand" sneakers that are notoriously made by child labor?
Far as I know, only New Balance brand sneakers are made in USA..
Do other companies hire illegal aliens? Do those companies check every employees qualifications, or do they expect the employment agency to do so?
Sorry, but this looks like a "set up" by their competition.
