05/07/2023: Illegal Child Labor, Industrial Revolution, Photographer James Nachtwey

2023-05-07

A Nebraska middle school’s concerns about the safety of its students led to one of the largest investigations into illegal child labor in this country. Scott Pelley reports. Bill Whitaker visits California’s massive lithium reserve to see why some are calling this the next phase of the Industrial Revolution. Photographer James Nachtwey has made a career covering the world’s most violent conflicts. He tells Anderson Cooper why documenting acts of compassion in the darkest times makes him believe in humanity.

Child abuse in sweat, shops, labour, a scourge, franklin, roosevelt, called this ancient atrocity so it was a shock in twenty twenty two. To learn that an american company owned by a wall street firm,
children as young as thirteen to work in slaughterhouses, the disgrace, was more disturbing because the company p s, I is. It also national food safety at its owner, blackstone claims to be a model of management. Both companies say they, no idea they employed children in eight states, but it was obvious to teach in grand island nebraska, who noticed acid burns on a child. In our story, you will see only two photos of children working in a slaughterhouse, because a privacy to with, obscured faces are the? U S, department of labour would give us, but too may be enough, their hard hats, red p s, s eye for packers
annotation services incorporated the nations leading slaughterhouse cleaning service with fifty. Thousand workers in four hundred thirty two plants, king in more than a billion dollars a year, not yet seemed likely abuser of children seemed possible but not necessarily likely, and if it were possible. You know. Maybe it was someone had fallen cracks rebel jedo is assessed Nineteen year labour department investigator, who was sceptical, but she went to ground island nebraska. Last summer, after a school told police about ass burns on the hand in knee of a fourteen year old girl, the student explain that she worked nights in this slaughter house on the edge of town. What did the Educators at walnut middle school tell you it's to be
known within the community, minors, but either are or were working overnight chefs. They told us about children that were going to say in class that had and chemical burns they were concerned. for the safety of the kids. They were concerned that they were unable to stay awake and and do their job, which is learning in school because been up all night right up all night. At the a b s slaughterhouse, an immense plant that uses five per cent of the beef in america jamie, ask and butchers six thousand cows a day here, but each night the plant was turned over to p s I for cleaning from five and seven I am sharing rebel, Jedo, staked out the parking lot as J b s left and he s ass. I came in. and you really noted the difference in
currents of these workers that were coming toward the slate night shift. Could you knew they were? They were little. They looked young she Leaved children were washing bloody floors and razor sharp machines was scalding water and powerful chemicals. So rebel ghetto, returned with a team and search warrant. She says They found nine children at work. A revelation that trigger a national audit of p S. I am what did you find? that this was a standard operating procedure that there were minors applied across the country to be made thirteen and seventeen working the over night shift. This was not a mistake. There is no way that this was just a mistake, a clue work, air, a handful of rome individuals getting through? This was the stand. Operating procedure how many minors de jure delphi we were able to identify
and confirm a hundred into minors that thirteen different plants in front states. Do you believe that a hundred into the full extent not about I believe that the number is likely much higher level. no the department of labour filed suit against p S. I, the company responded with this. P s. I has an absolute company wide prohibition again hiring minors it added. We will do and ourselves vigorously against these claims. The statements p s. I checks. Eligibility of employees, including this girl, on a federal database, but that database It is well known to be abused in an industry that can struggle to find workers. The jobs are grim and danger, and so they are often filled by immigrants who are desperate for work.
some immigrants use false papers to routinely beat the federal identification system that is known as e verify. Employers have for nearly thirty years. That e verify is useless if the applicant has bought bar or stolen an actual idea, which is common and, in the case of the children, verily verify was especially dubious. These were close calls. In some case, There were thirteen year olds working and they identified by pierre society being in their thirties. Just it's not possible. Statement when the suit was filed. P s- I said in addition to verify it has- the street leading best in class procedures, including extensive training, document, verification biometrics And multiple layers of audits, the system
that they use automatically ags, whether not someone a certified that they are eighteen or not and count on our review was that it, was regularly ignored. If someone did certify that they were eighteen did any of the children. Tell you how long they had been working at flat, yes, and how long was that we looked back at a three year period, so we confirm that they had minors working there as early Two thousand nineteen phil weeks after its vow to vigorously defend itself. P s, I settled with the government, it did not dispute finding that it hired children. Ps. I promise not to do so in the future and agree to regular audits, the company paid maximum fine of one point: five million dollars which was, one per cent of its cash on hand. The settlement, ended the suit, but it did
Answer the question why the children, pay was the same as adults. So why a higher kids Secondly, my david: insight into this question and in the desperation of the workers, people I know we need money to survive, to pay bills to pay rent, For me is not we'll just me, We didn't that job lemme have worked. p s, I, as an adult in another plant? She told us- it was obvious some co workers were children, they have a days from like my kids. Aren't they They should be in a school dinners, be there for like adult, is hard. You came. you're for our children. Is no easy. Do you believe that the
revisers had p s. I knew that these were children, that they were hiring they know about it. They will say nothing because isn't I just need the people to get the job done, people to get the job done. You could put it away. Jessica lima told us turnover of workers was high in the tough overnight jobs, but there was never let up in the pressure to get the slaughterhouses open by dawn. in grand island? Many are at fault, county court to parents had been convicted of child abuse or endangerment for sending kids to the plant. A mother was sentenced to sixty days, blame and in this audio recording a step farther is being sentenced to thirty days by judge arthur wetzel slay. The company that employed this young lady ass, stanch lame forcing
Young children to work on a kill floor at a bee, packing plan in photo identification. The young lady was twenty two years of age when fat? She was fourteen, theirs, to be passed upon the mother who take the false documents, so child could work also Our friends in the room, J b s is lame. Blame for hiring a cleaning companies such as this to conduct their affairs in their plan, parents, just false identities. Children were coached to lie, but it was two p s I to ensure its operations, didn't create a market for child labour in its defence. Top p s. I official told us off camera we own. this. We know we made some mistakes, its inexcusable
p. I now says it has fired more than three dozen local managers the sheer nature, the systemic failures. I've never seen. Systemic failures like this violations across the board at all of these different locations. I've never something like that. For all the years. The investigation found child labour. ps. I has been owned by wall streets blackstone, the largest private equity, firm in the world, blacks, told us extensive, pre, Vestment due diligence show p s, I had industry leading hiring compliance, but it's aims that diligence failed to find What was obvious to investigators watching a ship change in a parking lot. Still the estimates giant says a claim of sufficient diligence or oversight is simply false and yet
a hundred and two children labored at thirteen slaughterhouses in eight states. But really really out aged and concerned that this is happening in the country today, jessica, luman heads, the labour, parliament's wage and our division in charge of enforcement. In you view is billionaires, making profits off the sweat of children This was a systemic problem that was happening at p s I and we have to think about what this means for communities. What this means for economy and what we at the department of labour and across his administration are adamant about that we will never rebuild our economy on the backs of children. Chancellor I didn't century. This is happening in twenty twenty, two, twenty twenty three on that we, kids working in meat, packing factories and
we should all be outraged hard to imagine the callousness that is required. Makes us all question What's going wrong, neither blackstone nor p s. I would make a corporate officer available for an on camera interview, ps. I offered an attorney hired after the labour department filed suit, but he had no. First hand, knowledge of the hiring of children. Today, p s. I has a new ceo. It pledge to, among other things, spent Ten million dollars on the welfare of children. In grand island the slaughterhouse owner J The s told us it no children worked in its plant, J b s and other meat packers have fired p s? I had more than two dozen sites ps, I told us we are one hundred percent committed to
forcing our absolute prohibition against tiring children, as were the old workers in grand island privacy laws prevent officials from telling us much. But we do know one child is in foster care and others are with their parents, You know, I wonder after speaking to these children after exposing what happening to them. What is Europe for them now, I hope that their safe, I hope that they have opportunity to be kids. Score and not be tired, and if their Where can I just? I hope that their able to work in us environment.
On a cold night in twenty ten, a boy I stopped by the police while walking home from a party in the bronx he's only sixteen he's been stopped by the police before, but this time is different in it special for part series. The generation why podcast unravels the story of khalifa prouder, a young boy who was falsely accused of stealing a backpack and held bail at rikers island for three years. He endured regular abuse by prison staff and inmates and was held in solitude? confinement for more than seven hundred consecutive days, three later colleague was released, never having stood trial. This is a story takes into the injustice of the justice system and a young life caught in the middle? We say innocent until per And guilty, but where we draw the line between due process and cruelty to hear this four parts. Greece follow generation.

The transition from fossil fuels to sustainable electric power has gone mainstream. Most visit we in the auto industry, the maid your car companies are chasing tesla with ambitious plans for fleets of electric vehicles those cars and trucks run on lithium batteries. The? U S, has massive quantities of lithium, but been slow to invest in the mining and extraction of the metal. That's about to change lydia moderation powered by clean energy, are being developed in a long, neglected, impoverish part of california by this salton sea not far from the mexican border. region, is being called lithium valley and just like the team forty nine gold rush companies are racing to strike it rich. East of san, diego and south of palm springs lies the sultan sea cod for news largest inland body of water spreading
he's from the sea is a giant underground mineral, rich, geothermal field boiling with potassium sodium and lithium it is a world class with him a source. This is When you hear estimates of how big this resource could be, it's usually measured on annual tonnes produce and were cough that this is a in exile, three hundred thousand tonnes a year right now, that's why more than half of the world supply of with him exposure is c o of energy source minerals, accompanied based by the salt and see in california imperial valley. It steaming ahead with plans to recover lithium use an existing electric plant powered by the vast underground geothermal, feel, we're moving into an era of green technology, especially with our cars. this video are.
More conservative projection would support seven and a half million electric vehicles a year. It is half of the total. U s, car sales, cars and trucks coming from salton sea area correct. What about this plant this plant will be one thousand tonnes per year, which is equipped to about five hundred thousand vehicles per year, once up and running the tonnes of lithium generated here will be shipped refined and processed into millions of rechargeable electric car batteries over two percent of our line up and our tell sales will be from batter electric vehicles by the end of the decade, more stewart is head of the lantern north America a globe carmaker that own some of america's best known brands, including chrysler jeep, ram trucks it really is core to quote the industrial revolution. The next phase right this is the most into
Is there an exciting time to be a part of our industry? Stolen is, is investing thirty five billion dollars in an end, bishop, historic transformation where re, imagining our factories, our assembly plants there already rowan plugin hybrids, as well as looking to two new battery joint ventures that are in for construction right now. The new industrial revolution Absolutely as it's really that the biggest technological changes in our industry and nearly a hundred years we were down and the solvency region. They believe can supply the lithium needs for all fuckin car manufacturers- absolutely that is case. Whatever they can produce, you guys will be by We ve for sure will take as much we can get in as much as we have. We have already secured early lucy is key to power in electric cars, the day,
It's metal helps make batteries. Rechargeable there's a lot of it around, but extract Lithium is dirty business. Most from rock minds in australia or as pie evaporated from mineral ponds and south america the? U S, has one lithium evaporation plant in nevada energy source plans to break ground on a clean billion dollar facility here by the salt and see in the next few months, so the planet sit in this spot right here, correct, that's automatic! That's not a big footprint know. What are these? We call them the mud pots. and they are co2 vents hot seo too, with fluid that's owing to the surface, so this is evidence of the heat and activity going on underground, correct the six hundred degree geothermal brine that powers, the region's electric plants, com, for more than a mile beneath the earth. The boy,
in brine, produces clean steam which dry turbines to generate enough electricity to power four hundred thousand homes in the past. The mineral rich brine was simply returned to the earth. Now, energy source plans to extend the process and extract lithium, from the brine before real, directing it underground. Our process in combination with this resource will be the cleanest most efficiently. in process in the world and how long before the lithium process here, will be in commercial use in the? U s and twenty forty five, a lot of the camp, it's that go into the batteries have been coming from were around the world, but that america, why that we have a lot of decent resources in north America they ve just been Developed David dig worked for tesla.
traveling the world to find the best sources of lithium, as it were, building up production of its electric vehicles or a tesla terms. To the lithium ion battery power, its cars kind of rechargeable battery sony first mass produced for its cam quarters. There was a new mark. for a consumer electronics, but the vast majority is for electric vehicles, and that was previously triggered by tesla trick I tesla also you know there's a lot of heavy growth and even demand And production and in china that's been a big part of big part of the global, demand story come on in dick is now energy sources, chief development officer and says He had a eureka moment when he saw its unique technology companies lab deak showed the mechanics in miniature, the full size plant will be one hundred times larger. So why
goes on inside this cylinder. Is it sir? What what is the matrix? Think of it? beads in a in a column? Much like the activated carbon that you would find into british filter. It works in a similar concept of british, felt her well filter all impurities out of water this sort of into something that would only taken lithium and not absorbed everything else. This is I'm takes just a few hours to turn this orange brine into this Clear lithium solution which We'll be dried into powder whatever. What everybody's? Looking for? That's what everyone wants here by the solvency energy source is leading the race for lithium Warren buffett. h e renewables run ten geothermal power plants in the region and there's another on the drawing board lion. Australian company control. thermal resources, both things
we are moving to tap the promise bubbling under the earth c, o rod, Caldwell told us controlled thermal resources had been found tuning the process at this test facility for ninety days producing lithium from live braun here behind us. This is our optimize asian plan. Stop what it learns here. Controlled thermal resources plans to build a new plan for recovering lithium, which cost about four thousand dollars a tonne to extract, and Lee is selling for six times more. Noise is from the machines, cooling, six hundred degree brine wise from the well releasing steam he's a battery great fought from some say wrong. This removes eureka. This is absolutely right. Cool. It told us this bottle of clear lithium chloride is the purest product from test facility? So far
the first time this has been my hands, as happened last, not bills that might take them home with us about ten dollars worth of lithium. I dare say you know it, We not words question here in the sultan sea basin is: will it work for everyone this Rich lithium resource lie. beneath one of the poorest sections of california. the sultan see was created when the colorado river flooded, the basin and nineteen o five. But for the past Fifty years the main source of water has been local laden, agricultural run off and for decades now the sea has been evaporating and shrinking. a once. Thriving tourist industry has been replaced, environmental decay, toxic dust and economic hardship. And with unemployment in the region hovering around sixteen percent there's a riding on turning the imperial valley into lithium valley. Governor
This call it can all the saudi arabia of lithium you know I can change landscape of the winter frank rule the audubon societies local programme director is fighting to include the community in that change here? the commissioner on the state panel studying how the entire region can benefit from the potential underground you're, an environmentalist? How do you reconcile the end. The realisation of this area with saving the wildlife and the communities we to learn about it, tables delete them. Industry can be really good. You know for these communities, you can do you know for provide they jobs. It can provide more job opportunities, especially for the younger folks. provide their revenue sooner to us. The challenge is: do we have here the solvency gene? This predict once the industry is fully operational, listen
underground should last for generations before running out good news for letters which ran out of batteries for its plugin hybrid g wrangler. Last year we sold out what happened the fact that could turn back my crystal ball bill. I would have secured a little more capacity for after last year to berlin that from happening in the future. More stewart ants to land is have committed buying lithium from controlled thermal resources at the sultan, see no It will be years before his product is commercially viable, secured a large supply from them over a ten year period. we are very positive on their technology, so car carmaker general motors, which has invested in controlled thermal resources, the department, energy, and u s. Automakers are eager for domestic lithium. The companies stung when the pandemic disrupted the worldwide supply chain stalling.
Shipments of microchips parts and batteries, sir, today three quarters of all the theme batteries are processed in asia. lithium. What typically happens I'd its mind in one spot, its moved across the world for processing and comes back Think of all that additional costs. Think of all that additional carbon is being used to do that in the end, some one pays for it. the consumer So we'll having this domestic supply of lithium help keep the cost of electric vehicles down. It will certainly help prices for election Cars are coming down and are projected to be on par with gas vehicles within a few years, driven in part by tax incentives in the twenty twenty two inflation reduction act, air, spammer of energy source, told us. The tax benefits have also been a catalyst for developing domestic lithium, we're starting
a big announcements of investments, to the create that domestic demand It doesn't ever have to go across an ocean, this sea, like this is a game. Changer, for american industry. It's a competitive advantage at an eternity that we can be a leader globally, and why not lean when russia invaded ukraine last year, James Norway, packed up his cameras in kepler vast and rushed the front lines. Not way is one of the greatest war photographers of all time over the last four dec, age. He's covered nearly every armed conflict in the world. He was shot in the leg in thailand, wounded by a boy in El Salvador, mortar in Beirut and her grenade in Iraq there was tossed into a humble. He was writing it.
It was not weigh seventy five now and, as we found out trying to keep up with him over the past year, still risking his life to capture images. That may be difficult to look at, but important to never forget In the darkest times than in the dangerous places james now, way captures beauty and brutality, moments of hate. And heroism since was destruction and quiet. Said, compassion. His photos, as reveal the deepest and often disturbing depths of who we are and what we due to each other. You ve said that for Apps can speak and I'm wondering you feel like you're you're, helping give voice to some of the people. You photograph, woman The people I photographed are, marginalized by the powers that be. their silencer made invisible. So when someone comes from another part of the world and assumes risk
to tell the story, people see us as a kind of messenger, not has devoted his life to telling other people stories bearing witness to their suffering and sacrifices, but documenting would cause. The insanity of war has been the core his career. He spent dec aids, covering conflicts in afghanistan in the middle east the war in bosnia. Genocide in rwanda, when it's me as a million people died. Some fatah we have talked about their cameras, a weapon. Do you think Your cameron that well, I think it's a way of looking at it, because in a way you knew my Fighting for peace fighting against an injustice and the way you do it is by informing people about it with the faith but will want something done about in ukraine. At the start of the war knock way worked in and around kieva harkin for the new yorker magazine These are images he took an boucher shortly.
After russian troops pulled out, leaving behind the bodies of civilians, they'd executed, which always horrendous He was really like condom what you re in terms of brutality of all the military's you have seen. Does the russian military stand apart in ukrainian for their behaviour, somehow the russians of suitor part not only in ukraine but in chechnya? way was in chechnya is capital grozny for weeks and ninety. Ninety five and ninety six as russia forces relentlessly bombarded the city the arthur was inhabited by the chechens was pounded into rubble from chill and rocket fire and air strikes for weeks and weeks on end with the civilian population trapped inside they ve taken that Ukraine, but its throughout the country In hark eve in eastern ukraine last year, we watch knock way as he worked photographing a man living in across space under a building to avoid shelling
months later, back in his new Hampshire studio, We showed us some of the images he taken. made this an image that spoke to you: suppression on his face. If you really look carefully at his eyes, you can see those terror and his eyes he living in a state of terror for quite a while. This photograph was taken in a cave suburb of civilians, evacuating across a makeshift bridge. Never split! seconds that are occurring, you can be running and taking a picture. Quite often, I'm running and I have to try and make a composition, get it in focus and catch the moment. People talk Your use of hands and images. Is that something you're conscious of conscious of hands and eyes? I think those are the two most expressly hearts and people This is a really good example here That's the center of the picture, the old man's hand reaching for support to be.
Hold up by the volunteer. How many seems like this? Have you seen in your life to learning gay did not raise photographs or on display in a traveling exhibition called memorial when it's in new york, he showed us some of the sixty seven stunning images in it is it the orphanages is in romania? Anti ninety knock way help reveal the shocking squalor and neglect in romania's state run orphanages. Crimes were just pack together children in the groups and they were taken out to play. There is almost like a prison than away his photo I was published in the new york times magazine, help lead to an international effort to rescue these children have, as a I three years old, maybe have a look like that in his eyes,. other walls in the exhibition were lined with casualties of war. family morning in bosnia, father checking his wounded daughter from gunfire in El Salvador,
those are machete strikes in this man? driver of machete attack in rwanda, he couldn't talk fourchan very slowly, and I just made contact with my cameron, who allowed me to take the picture even turned his face more toward the lay without me asking that simple to that somebody gives permission in a situation like this I feel like. I'm taking from people If you like part of what I'm doing- and I thank you stood. What his scars would say to the rest of the world. Do you get depressed by Do you cry? Do you get angry? I'm angry a lot of the time I mean when I see innocent people pushed around and boy here. I've depression. The things are depressing
but I think it's a sense of purpose, a sort of drives me through that you said that you had to learn how to channel your anger. As a journalist realise anger can just saw you off the rails side channel it into the pictures, and I think my pictures have anger in them, but they also have compassion Was this image and others taken by the legendary life magazine photographer larry burrows in vietnam that open ways eyes to the power of pictures when he was student dartmouth, college in the late nineteenth sixties, brew, photographs- had a point of view. Feeling the reality of war for service members and civilians alike. How did you start? I just start. cold. I read books, I would create assignments for myself. Then I would go out as if always working for an editor and practice. Wait till you would just make up your own assignments. Yes, I said: okay, I'm going to go out on a fishing trawler.
believe it always shooting for national geographic or something He landed a job, taking pictures for the albuquerque journal and nineteen. Seventy six photo on the front page but it wasn't until nineteen eighty one after ten years of training and not he felt ready to photograph armed conflict. He bought a ticket to belfast. Northern ireland were right it's in ST battles were escalating. Did you know people there? I didn't know anyone. I was green. I just through self into it. He's photo Ass from there were published by newsweek magazine. I felt that I in the midst of history as it was happening, and I was I commend again and that that was really an exciting failing, you were on the breaking wave of history I mean, isn't done, which photographers do because nothing has been written. A situation is happening. We actually don't know. What's going to happen in the next moment anything can happen
his unflinching coverage of the civil wars in central america, the nineteen eighties cemented, knock ways, reputation and earn. A contract. With time magazine or his work for the next thirty four years in south africa and their only nineteen nineties not weigh covered the violent end of apartheid and the blood soaked birth of a new democracy, and was there when another photojournalist canister brook was shot to death in two colleagues wounded, Down on the ground, traded, not be, targets the incoming fire, and you can see my hair apart from the bullet through my hair, you actually fell the bullet country. Here you can actually see it on the film here. It is again in slow motion, as now way in the white shirt move to reach his injured colleague, a bullet like it of wind, great his hair. You ve close many times to being killed? Is it worth it where these images
it's not for running one image that sets for the job itself decided a long time ago that if I was gonna do this, I would have to put myself at risk in any think could happen. You clearly me they commitment that this was worth sacrificing for war, sacrificing having a family for a realise that if I were to pursue what I'm doing. and I was very driven to do that I wouldn't be a great father- I wouldn't be a good husband and all that would fall apart. I just didn't want that to happen, so I. Had the foregoing. not weigh lives in hanover new Hampshire, where he went to college, though he's rarely therefore long his If work, nearly a million images has been acquired by dartmouth include his wrenching coverage of the opium, lloyd epidemic?

He's a man search of meaning we're gonna have from the sun tower small roman catholic church, with a cross on the top and other? There was a- interesting way of framing it somehow indicated, but cultural difference between who is being attacked and who is doing the attacking and, as I was photograph have, the town fell. That's what happening right here starts. Lapsing, has a photograph higher and all of this debris, this trial, girders, I must have way tonnes were flying through the air you're about to get killed. So I found my way into the leave a building and it all flew over many decades. Those calls have taken their toll on James knock way he's here,
