In 2006, when Nathaniel Popper first reported on abusive working conditions at Agriprocessors' Postville Iowa plant inThe Forward, the story was virtually ignored by the mainstream media.  Then, last May, in the largest such raid ever-- to that point-- the Postville plant was raided by the immigration authorities and almost 400 workers detained, accused of identity fraud, and slated for deportation after serving 4-month sentences.  We talk to Popper about what's happened since then to the workers, their families and the town of Postville and about divisions within the Jewish community over the actual conditions within the plant and efforts to expand the laws of kashrut to include the ethical treatment of workers.  And closer to home, we learn there are new  accusations of abusive working conditions and anti-union activities at Agriprocessors' facility in Brooklyn and at another kosher food processor in Queens, Alle Processing.
