Are Jon and Kate Gosselin running an illegal sweat-shop or something??

Not content with major marriage problems, seems like the bosses at the Pennsylvania labor department thinks the couple’s hit TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8 might be in breach of child labor laws.

The TLC series is now under investigation.

"I can confirm that our bureau of labor law compliance is conducting an investigation as they do whenever they receive a charge," said Christopher Manlove, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

It’s not entirely clear why the probe has been launched, but TLC has responded by saying it ”fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations.”

It adds: ”Jon and Kate + 8 is no exception.  For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in cooperative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor.

”We will continue to engage the appropriate officials and meet any standards or regulations that are applicable to TLC productions."

 What’s the problem anyway? If you’ve got eight kids, make them work for their food…
