From Bloomberg News
Connecticut fined Wal-Mart Stores Inc. $3,300 over child labor violations after a state investigation found that some minors lacked proper paperwork and were operating hazardous equipment at the stores.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell said that the state found 11 violations in three Wal-Mart stores in the state and that 337 minors worked at the company’s 32 Connecticut stores from 2003 to 2005. The probe came after the Labor Department in February said the retailer had similar violations nationwide.
