The U.S. Department of Labor has brought a complaint against Cargill Inc. alleging that the company's meat business has engaged in "systematic" discriminatory hiring practices -- a complaint that Cargill said was unexpected and unfounded.
Labor filed its complaint yesterday, charging specifically that Cargill's turkey processing plant in Springdale, Ark., preferably hired Asian and Pacific Islander applicants over other "qualified" job seekers, including women, blacks, whites, Hispanics and Native Americans. Labor said the plant unfairly rejected 4,069 job seekers over a three-year period between August 2005 and July 2008.
