The U.S. Department of Labor has obtained apreliminary injunction forbidding three poultry processing companies in La Puente and City of Industry and their principals from violating child labor laws, failing to pay overtime, threatening and retaliating against workers, obstructing a federal investigation and shipping “hot” goods.
The injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California follows an investigation by the department’s Wage and Hour Division that found rampant child labor and wage violations at these facilities owned and operated by Tony Elvis Bran and The Exclusive Poultry Inc.
