The next question is how come a biz in the US that hires illegals for 1/3 of it’s workforce not get slapped with fines for breaking the law?
The real bad news is that the payoffs to Rham were missed three weeks in a row.
But they’re still in business just like Tyson chicken and Smithfield hams after their raids.

And will continue. They are more than just a hamburger bun mfg. They make a lot vending
machine items that many purchase such as honey buns, etc.
There was no blind eye.
We can state with certitude that payoffs were made to Chicago
Let the bastards go out of business!
Good point. Also, for soliciting identity theft, since a company of that size must have a formal, computerized payroll system, and every account must be linked to a SEN, real or stolen.
“struggling to replace staff, is facing pressure to raise wages, and has lost $21 million due to the disruption.”
They can hire all the Mondolez employees that were laid off when Mondelez moved operations to Mexico. This used to be the Chicago Nabisco Factory.
:^) Go get ‘em!
Was any management arrested? Until that happens illegals will continue to flood our country.
They can’t hire replacement workers because welfare will actually provide a better living than their base pay. Reduce welfare and/or pay more. I vote AND.
What in the samh377 does that mean? As a U.S. Citizen, my valid documentation to work in the U.S.A. is a valid social security number which can be checked in 10 minutes tops if I want to, say, buy a gun or apply for a loan or credit card. How tough is that?
When I worked in Japan, my valid documentation was a residence visa stamped in my passport and/or an ID card from the local government office showing my eligibility to work in the country. And, yeah, if I was so much as caught shoplifting, that permission could be revoked.
800 jobs Americans just won’t do. :-)
It’s a start. A good one at that.
Company name?
“Swiss-based company” Why?
Company officials blamed the illegal-immigrant workforce on an outside staffing firm which was investigated by federal agencies.
the company reported a “very severe loss in margins … [because of] volume losses … [and] increased labor input costs.” But the extra costs only caused the company’s U.S. profits to drop from 16 percent to 9.5 percent of revenue.
His background was pretty murky, and he worked hard to keep it that way. The company was actively trying - working hard at it - trying to find his background, was he employable, his paperwork, and so on. Internal paperwork disappeared in the takeover. Company got stonewalled by the gov't at every turn. They couldn't find out if he really was legal and couldn't fire him on threat of a lawsuit. Heck of it was, he seemed a decent guy and did good work.
Problem eventually solved itself when the guy quit and moved on. I heard that he landed in Europe somewhere. HR was pleased to let it become someone else's problem.
But, the takeaway was - here's a company trying to do the right thing and only dealing with one person, and they couldn't get a straight answer through any government channels. What about a place on the border with 5000 people, half of them named Rodriguez with equally murky provenance? They'd be completely out of luck, even if they WANT to do the right thing. Which, so long as there's no penalty to the decision makers, will be a rare event.
The swamp needs draining. So much to do, and so few competent and trustworthy people to do it.
Fast food money laundering and suppliers (along with the chains they supply) are riding that cheap illegal labor wagon to higher profit margins...
How many decades of in-your-face illegal operations have to pass before govt catches on... SMH...
