Gotta use the arguments that work. Appealing to the executives humanity isn't going to work.

Makes me think we should just push for American based companies to follow American regulations overseas.

A youngster used to be able to help buy a chicken for the pot every Sunday with good honest labor.
These days the youths are absorbed into their schooling and eating pizza pies. It’s a sad world we’re in.

Eh, something feels amiss here. Oh right, I forgot to submit the permits for the child labor I'm using.

Well I am sure that $17,800 fine will totally stop them from doing this in the future.

While the company hasn’t taken steps to ensure they aren’t violating child labor laws, perhaps the investment group managing Union pension funds will compel compliance with the law
However, their motivation seems driven by the fact that “child labor and poor workplace health and safety have regulatory and legal repercussions for Hyundai in the U.S. and can cause reputational damage across the globe.”
Recently, the Alabama Department of Labor fined SL Alabama and JK USA, an employment agency, $17,800 each for violating child-labor laws, including allegedly hiring three workers aged 13, 15, and 15 to operate plastic bonding machines and not obtaining proper child-labor permits.
The FLSA only permits children under the age of 14 to work in a limited range of jobs, including delivering newspapers, babysitting, and working for a business owned by their parents. Children aged 14 and 15 are prohibited from being employed in "hazardous" occupations.
