Another SWIFT Kick in the Pants
Snicker..snicker...snicker. There's been a trend of civil suits against these slime employers and I'm hoping to see more of it. Think it was a ruling in the Zirkle Fruit case that opened the door. AND I believe Mohawk carpets is being sued as well. Go get 'em you blood sucking lawyers. I know that if the Fed won't get the job done you guys will. If there's a dollar involved.
Former employees are suing Swift & Co. for $23 million, alleging the meatpacking company conspired to keep wages down by hiring illegal immigrants.
"When the Swift plant opened in Cactus, wages were approximately $20 an hour," said another plaintiffs attorney, Michael Haygood. "Now, the average wage is approximately $12 to $13 an hour. Illegal immigration has fueled this depression in wages."
