And violating child labor laws.
And you thought the work was all done by Jewish mothers.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Agriprocessors Inc. plant in Postville, Iowa, lost about half its
work force when 389 illegal immigrants were detained there in May,
causing shortages of kosher meat and poultry in butcher shops and
supermarkets across the country.
On Aug. 5, Iowa labor authorities said they had found 57 cases of
under-age workers employed at the plant, and they called on the state
attorney general to bring criminal charges against Agriprocessors for
"egregious violations" of the state's child labor laws.

Apparently authorities were tipped-off when patrons started noticing that
their kosher kielbasa tasted more like chorizo.
