Leaders of a congressional committee are pressing the U.S. Department of Labor for answers on whether an ongoing investigation of child- labor and wage violations at a meatpacking plant in Postville, Ia., will be compromised by a May 12 immigration raid there.
Democratic leaders of the House Education and Labor Committee wrote to Labor Secretary Elaine Chao on May 16. They’re asking for more information on the complaints that prompted the Agriprocessors Inc. investigation.
