Agriprocessors Denies Child Labor Charges
Posted 8 August 2008
In a statement issued earlier this
week, officials at Postville's Agriprocessors meatpacking plant
outlined their hiring policies regarding underage workers and says they
have cooperated with ongoing child labor and immigration
investigations.
The Iowa Labor Commission recently reported it had record of 57
violations of child labor laws at the plant. Agriprocessors maintain it
is the company's policy not to hire underage workers and to terminate
any employees found to be under 18.
Allegations made by the Iowa Labor Commission against Agriprocessors
include minors working illegally in the plant, exposure to dangerous
chemicals and working with prohibited tools.
The company is also in the middle of a federal investigation for
possible violations of immigration-related labor laws.
