About this listen

In Episode 3, Season 2, Ocean explores what rights minors actually have as workers, how state laws (like Colorado’s) create troubling exceptions for seasonal and agricultural work, and why collective bargaining and enforcement often fail young employees.

The episode centers on investigative reporting about migrant children working dangerous night shifts in slaughterhouses, the legal loopholes and enforcement gaps that enable exploitation, and the need for stronger protections and worker power. Episode 4 continues the deep dive.
