Martin v. Funtime, Inc.

United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
963 F.2d 110 (1992)

Facts

Funtime, Inc. (defendant) owned and operated three amusement parks. Funtime employed numerous 14- and 15-year-old children and regularly required them to work more hours than the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) permitted. The Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor (Wage and Hour Division) began investigating Funtime in 1985 and assessed a civil monetary penalty shortly thereafter. Funtime’s violations continued, however, and a 1990 investigation disclosed numerous additional violations of the FLSA. Lynn Martin, United States secretary of labor (secretary) (plaintiff), filed a complaint against Funtime alleging violations of the FLSA’s child labor provisions. The district court conducted a bench trial, found numerous violations of the FLSA, and entered an injunction restraining Funtime from further violations of the child labor provisions. Funtime appealed, arguing that it had already taken steps to prevent child labor violations and promising to eliminate future violations.
