Arkansas-based poultry processor George’s, Inc. recently broke up a scam within its human resources department at one of its plants in Columbia Furnace, Va. Plant employees were using documents submitted by legal applicants to help illegal aliens get jobs at the plant.
Three employees from within the plant’s human resources department copied documents from applicants who were told that there were no jobs at the plant. The employees then sold the documents to illegal workers who were required to forfeit up to $100 per pay period to the human resource employees.
The human resource employees were fired along with the illegal workers, but police were not involved. The break-up was handled by George’s, Inc. The scheme likely violated federal labor laws, but without the company’s cooperation, federal investigators are at a dead end.
