Amish factory breaks child labor laws

June 19, 2013

SPENCERVILLE, IN — An Amish pallet factory has been cited for a dozen child labor violations involving seven different children. The most serious violation the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA) cited the factory near Spencerville for involves a 15-year-old girl who had her arm cut off by a woodworking machine.

Driving around Amish country in northeast Indiana, many probably wouldn’t even notice Timberline Crating. But behind the barbed wires and past the horses sits the pallet manufacturing factory now cited for violating child labor laws.
