From the Sacramento Bee: Curtis Sean Mouser died in his sleep after a hard night's work. He was 17. Those two factors - weariness and youth - are prompting state officials to investigate why the teen was working the graveyard shift for a specialized cleaning company. A tragic story which highlights the urgency of labor laws and the sorry state of labor regulation in this country.
