POPSWorkers Suing Pilgrim’s Pride “This is because illegal immigrants will work for extremely low wages and in deplorable working conditions, which has been referred to as a form of modern-day indentured servitude,” Mr. Foster said. The plaintiffs in such cases have not yet won any verdicts, although there was a $1.3 million settlement last year with the Zirkle Fruit Co. in Selah, Wash. In the lawsuit filed against Pilgrim’s Pride in Alabama, an employee at the company’s Russellville, Ala., poultry plant is suing under RICO. He contends that Pilgrim’s Pride is depressing his wages by conspiring to hire undocumented workers at below-market wages through an “illegal immigrant hiring scheme.”

POPSHundreds Arrested In Immigration Raids At Poultry Plants
Federal authorities carried out the sweeps Wednesday, arresting hundreds of workers at Pilgrim's Pride chicken plants on charges of identity theft, document fraud and immigration violations. More than 25 people face immigration violation charges in Live Oak, Fla. They will also face identity theft or document fraud charges, ICE said. More than 20 were arrested in Batesville, Ark., on federal warrants for alleged document fraud or identity theft. DJs on a Spanish-language radio station told listeners to be careful Wednesday after reporting news of the raid. After the arrests, many of the dozens of businesses in town that cater to Latino immigrants had few customers or none at all. ''It's sad and scary,'' said Sheita Delacruz, who works at her mother's dress and gift shop. The poultry raids were the largest of the immigration enforcement actions across the country Wednesday. It was at least the fourth round of raids at U.S. poultry plants in the past three years.
