    Iowa meatpacking plant cited for safety violations

    Iowa meatpacking plant cited for safety violations
    26 minutes ago

    DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) β€” Iowa labor officials are citing meatpacking plant Agriprocessors with 31 new and repeat safety violations.

    The Iowa Division of Labor Services on Friday proposed fining the Postville plant $101,000 for 29 serious violations and six repeat offenses.

    Earlier this month, Agriprocessors β€” the nation's largest kosher meatpacking plant β€” was accused by the Iowa Division of Labor Services of employing dozens of underage workers. In May, the plant was the target of the largest single-site immigration enforcement raid in U.S. history, with nearly 400 people arrested on immigration charges.

    Agriprocessors has 15 days to respond to the state's allegations.

    Way to little and way to late. The Iowa Division of Labor Services should
    have been doing the job a long time ago.

    Time to close the plant and overhaul Iowa Division of Labor Services
    from the top down.

    I think it would be safe to bet that if people checked out the majority of these businesses who hire illegals, they would find a tons of laws that are being broken which is why they hire them......so no one will squeel.

    This small fine amounts to a slap on the wrist.
