This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Labor Department is investigating Perdue Farms and Tyson Foods — two of the biggest poultry producers in the U.S. — after reports that migrant children as young as 13 have been working overnight shifts to clean the companies’ plants.

The inquiry comes after The New York Times Magazine published last week a harrowing account of a 14-year-old boy, Marcos Cux, whose arm was nearly torn off while working at a Perdue slaughterhouse on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

He and other middle and high school-aged children made up about a third of the overnight shifts at the plant — handling acid and pressure hoses to wash away blood and meat scraps from industrial machines.

Cux admitted to lying about his age to get the job but the Times reported that it was a open secret among workers at the facility.

She added that Perdue is also conducting a “third-party audit of child labor prevention and protection procedures” that includes its contractors.

In July, 16-year-old Duvan Robert Tomas Perez died after getting entangled in a machine he was cleaning at a Mar-Jac poultry plant in Mississippi.
