Two McDonald’s franchises that control 16 locations in Louisiana and Texas were fined after violating labor laws by hiring more than 80 minors, the U.S. Department of Labor announced Tuesday.
CLB Investments LLC in Metairie, Louisiana, employed 72 workers aged 14 and 15 at its 12 restaurants in New Orleans, Kenner, Jefferson, and Metairie. The company also allowed the minors to work later and for longer hours than permitted by federal law.
