Coincidence? I think not.

The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (Full disclosure: I was a member at one time) reached a $3.75 million settlement with a meat packing plant owned by Koch Foods.  This was after an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint that the plant had sexually and racially harassed Latino workers.

Guess who owned the poultry processing plant in Mississippi recently raided by ICE?  It was Koch Foods.

Last year OSHA fined the owners of a unionized meatpacking plant in Salem, Ohio, for the death of an undocumented worker.  A week later ICE raided the plant.


Here’s the deal.  If you are undocumented and employed, don’t try to unionize.  Don’t try to complain. Work in dangerous conditions, work for low pay, and keep your month shut.
