Nation IN BRIEF : NEBRASKA : Sen. Kerrey Answers Child Labor Charge

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bob Kerrey said his business partner and brother-in-law has corrected child-labor law violations at their restaurants in Nebraska. The Grandmother’s Inc. chain was one of five employers cited and fined by the U.S. Labor Department, primarily for exceeding restrictions on teen-agers’ working hours. In a statement from his campaign office, Kerrey said: “I have been informed by my business partner that he has taken action to correct possible violations of U.S. Department of Labor regulations. The restaurants are now in compliance.”
