Separate owners of McDonald's locations in Louisiana and Texas have been fined a combined $77,500 for letting minors work more hours than federal guidelines allow.
"While learning new skills in the workforce is an important part of growing up, an employer's first obligation is to make sure minor-aged children are protected from potential workplace hazards," Campbell said in a statement Tuesday.
Labor regulators didn't specify how many extra hours teens had been working in those restaurants. Still, the Louisiana and Texas violations add to the agency's of similar infractions roughly two months ago at McDonald's locations near Kentucky. Three separate franchisees, which were fined $212,544 in all, employed 305 minors to work longer hours at 62 restaurants across Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland and Ohio, the department said.
