Brace Yourselves...

The plant I work at might be getting a sudden surge in business.

Why?

Well, I'll tell you.

Today, our biggest competitor, Agriprocessors Inc., of Postville, Iowa, got raided by ICE.

And - not indicated in the article, but my speculation - I suspect the plant is gonna get shut down. Let me explain.

ICE says they expect a total of approximately 700 arrests from the raid; 300 people were arrested outright during the raid for a variety of charges, and approximately 80% of the plant's 968 line employees have been detained for questioning and examination of their records.

Among the highlights:

According to sources, there was a methamphetamine lab being run INSIDE THE PLANT.

Employees regularly brought weapons to work.

A supervisor disciplined one of the illegals by duct taping his eyes and then hitting him in the face with a meathook.

One supervisor reported to ICE that he had gone to the human resources manager when he found three of his employees using the same social security number, and she laughed at him openly.

At least one employee was hired with no documentation whatsoever, and when her first paycheck had a different name on it, the plant illegally cashed the check for her.


...So, yeah, Agriprocessors, Inc., is gonna go away.

But we still make good chicken and turkey, right here at my plant!
