“Production stalled at the worlds largest hog slaughterhouse Thursday after hundreds of employees failed to show up for work, a day after immigration officials arrested 21 workers inside the plant.

Officials at Smithfield Foods Inc. said news of Wednesday’s arrests spread quickly among plant employees, and most members of a cleaning crew did not come to work overnight. That forced workers who arrived in the morning to clean the massive plant, halting the morning’s production.”
