Swift receives several applicants for vacant positions

DES MOINES, Iowa Swift and Company says it's recovering from huge job vacancies and financial losses after immigration raids in December at its meatpacking plants in six states, including Iowa.

Spokesman Sean McHugh says the company is filling positions. Swift lost nearly 13-hundred employees and about 30 (m) million dollars after the raids.

McHugh says the company hasn't changed hiring practices.

The company's pork plants are at normal production levels. Beef plants are at 70 percent.

Swift is based in Greeley, Colorado. The raids were in Greeley; Grand Island, Nebraska; Cactus, Texas; Hyrum, Utah; Marshalltown, Iowa; and Worthington, Minnesota.

Stupid is as stupid does. Have they learned nothing???

One good thing to learn from that little piece, is the direct confirmation of the financial impact to the interruption of business. Ha, ha.

the penalty must not have been great enough. Let us try again with a larger fine.
