Agriprocessors Denies Child Labor Charges Posted 8 August 2008 In a statement issued earlier this week, officials at Postville's Agriprocessors meatpacking plant outlined their hiring policies regarding underage workers and says they have cooperated with ongoing child labor and immigration  investigations.   The Iowa Labor Commission recently reported it had record of 57 violations of child labor laws at the plant. Agriprocessors maintain it is the company's policy not to hire underage workers and to terminate any employees found to be under 18.   Allegations made by the Iowa Labor Commission against Agriprocessors include minors working illegally in the plant, exposure to dangerous chemicals and working with prohibited tools.   The company is also in the middle of a federal investigation for possible violations of immigration-related labor laws.
