Description
We consider here the propriety of an injunction issued in connection with the employment of the underaged in the beheading of shrimp. The injunction arises from a suit brought by the Secretary of Labor against appellant, Gulf King Shrimp Company (Gulf King), for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. ร§ 201 et seq. At the conclusion of the trial, the district court made findings of fact and conclusions of law which found that Gulf King had violated the prohibition against the employment of "oppressive child labor," had failed to maintain adequate employment records, and had in some instances not complied with the minimum wage requirements of the Act. The Court enjoined Gulf King from violating the child labor and record-keeping provisions of the Act, but refrained from enjoining future minimum wage violations in the conviction that proper compliance with the record-keeping provisions would insure the payment of the minimum wage. Gulf King then perfected this appeal. Concluding as we do that the injunctive order has factual and legal impregnability, we affirm.
