POSTVILLE PLANT: The new owners of a Kosher meatpacking plant involved in an immigration raid in 2008 are hiring

February 1, 2010


The new owners of Postville's kosher meatpacking plant plan to hire 150 workers as they bump up operations at the plant.

Agri Star Meat and Poultry will add a second shift to its poultry line. It also plans to restart the plant's beef line in a few weeks.

The new owners bought the plant out of bankruptcy from Agriprocessors last fall after it collapsed in the wake of a huge immigration raid in 2008.

The new company says the new jobs could pay $9.50 to $12.50 an hour.
