Poor Working Conditions Persist at Agriprocessors Posted 2 July 2008 More than a dozen current and former employees reported last week that poor working conditions continue to persist at Postville Agriprocessor meat processing plant. The plant, which is the nation's largest kosher meat-processing plant, also holds the distinction of being the site for the nation's largest single-site immigration raid in U.S. history. The action in May 2008 forced hundreds to leave their job, and the Postville community. Many face charges and deportation. Complaints against Agriprocessors include low regard to employee safety, low wages and high employee turnover. Workers say little has been done since May to improve working conditions. Agriprocessors spokesman Chaim Abrahams says the company has taken steps to ensure it complies with all state and federal laws. Last week, June 26 and 27, Abrahams reported a workplace safety compliance expert toured the facility and reviewed its practices.
