Americas Watchdog Seeks Managers With Proof About Undocumented Workers In US Meat and Poultry Processing Plants For Possible Substantial Reward

Americas Watchdog's Corporate Whistle Blower Center is launching a national campaign focused on obtaining very specific information about undocumented workers, working as full time employees or sub contract employees in larger US meat or poultry processing facilities across the nation. The Corporate Whistle Blower Center wants to hear from plant managers or plant HR managers about this national disgrace. According to Americas Watchdog, "undocumented workers are being hired by the largest US meat and poultry processing facilities, as either full time employees, or sub contractors. In many cases they are not receiving over time, or medical coverage, if they are injured on the job. We know all about treating what are full time employees, as sub contractors, and their labor coyotes who profit from these transactions. If a major US meat or poultry processing facility manager or HR person has substantial proof of this type of wrong doing, a significant reward could be involved." Interested parties are welcome to contact Americas Watchdog's Corporate Whistle Blower Center at 866-714-6466 or visit their web site at http://AmericasWatchdog.Com.

(PRWEB) November 24, 2008 -- Americas Watchdog's Corporate Whistle Blower Center is a leading national advocate for workers rights in the United States. The Corporate Whistle Blower Center is now in the advanced stages of a national investigation involving major meat and poultry processors, related to who they hire to do the work, most US citizens would refuse to do, and how they are treated. The investigation is focused on undocumented workers, employee mistreatment, over time issues, and treating what really are full time employees as "sub-contractors". According to the group, "we want to talk with managers, accountants or HR managers in major meat or poultry processing facilities, that have the paperwork that will help us prove the point. There could be a significant reward involved, if the plant manager or HR manager has a substantial paper trail or documentation." Major meat or poultry processing facility managers in any US state can call the Corporate Whistle Blower Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or visit their web site at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/Http://AmericasWatchdog.Com Corporate Whistle Blower Center.

we want to talk with managers, accountants or HR managers in major meat or poultry processing facilities, that have the paperwork that will help us prove the point. There could be a significant reward involved, if the plant manager or HR manager has a substantial paper trail or documentation.
The scope of this investigation involves possibly every major meat or poultry processing facility in the United States.

The wrongdoing includes:

  • Failure to pay over time to the worker
  • Treating an undocumented worker as a subcontractor as opposed to a full time employee            
  • Failure to provide the workers with work breaks
  • Not allowing the person to clock in, before they put on their required work clothing
  • Paying the worker by the job, as opposed to paying the worker by the hour
  • Paying a labor broker or labor coyote, who then pays the actual worker

What the Corporate Whistle Blower Center needs as proof from a meat or poultry processing manager is as follows:

  • E-mails or other documents that openly address not paying overtime, e-mails or documents that address the undocumented worker working conditions or related documents or e-mails
  • Employment agreements with sub-contractor labor brokers/labor coyote
  • Payroll information on the undocumented worker, full time employee, or subcontractor

According to the Corporate Whistle Blower Center, "this type of information could result in a significant reward, we will treat all witnesses with 100% confidentiality and stepping forward is the right thing to do, provided they have the types of documentation we have listed." Insiders or meat or poultry plant managers, HR executives or accounting staff can contact the Corporate Whistle Blower Center anytime at 866-714-6466 or visit their web site at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/11/Http://AmericasWatchdog.Com Corporate Whistle Blower Center. According to the group, "its the right thing to do".

Americas Watchdog's Corporate Whistle Blower Center is all about employee protection and corporate responsibility.
