Teenage Mar-Jac Poultry Worker’s Death Leads to OSHA Penalty (1)news.bloomberglaw.com Mar-Jac MS LLC is facing federal health and safety citations and a $212,646 proposed fine in response to the July death of a 16-year-old Mississippi poultry plant worker, OSHA announced Tuesday.

This is why if the penalty HAS to be a fine, then it should be measured as a percentage of quarterly revenue rather than a lump sum. THAT would make the fat cats behave.

They kill a kid, and the penalty is basically a slap on the wrist. Just the cost of doing business.

CEO's should be going to Prison for incidents like this!

The rich pay in dollars. The poor pay in blood.
