SocraticGadfly: Oy Vey Agriprocessors

Oy Vey Agriprocessors

The nation’s largest kosher meatpacking plant, the target of a huge illegal immigrant raid earlier this summer, has its first criminal charges: breaking child labor laws .

Whether (allegedly) hiring illegals is “one thing” or “bad enough” or whatever phrase you choose, child labor is a whole nother issue.
The complaint filed by the Iowa attorney general's office said the violations involved 32 illegal-immigrant children under age 18, including seven who were younger than 16. The complaint says in addition to handling dangerous equipment, the children were exposed to hazardous chemicals such as chlorine solutions and dry ice.

Oops.

And, chlorine? Does kosher beef get bleached like the stuff offered up for goys at Wal-Mart and Kroger?
