Immigrant Teens Are Working Dangerous Night Shifts in Factories
Too Long; Didn't Read
ProPublica interviewed 15 teens and young adults in Bensenville, Illinois, who said they work or have worked as minors inside more than two dozen factories, warehouses and food processing facilities in the Chicago suburbs. The teens use fake IDs to get the jobs through temporary staffing agencies that recruit immigrants and, knowingly or not, accept the papers they are handed. They often don’t even know the names of the factories where they work, they refer to them, by the product they make or pack or sort.
