The Department of Labor (DOL) sued three Alabama businesses, including a Hyundai Motor manufacturing plant, for employing a 13-year-old worker on an auto parts assembly line.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, asked the court to prevent Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, as well parts supplier SMART Alabama and staffing agency Best Practice Service, from benefitting from the use of child labor.
The DOL alleged a 13-year-old girl recruited by Best Practice Service worked up to 50-60 hours a week on an assembly line at SMART Alabama, which manufactured parts for Hyundai. The complaint alleged the girl worked for six to seven months on a section of the SMART Alabama assembly line that formed sheets of metal into body parts for cars.
