* The production workers at Fresh Del Monte are actually employees of American Staffing Resources, Inc.

This is a common tactic by large corporations, use some temp agency as the 'front' for this, so they can claim plausible deniability. That's what Wal-Mart did with its cleaning staff a couple of years ago.

Yes, they lease employees. This way they don’t pay benefits directly. It is a little confusing. Many times the companies are even incorporated offshore and then they open affiliates around other states.

I’ve tried to figure this out several times; but, like I said, it gets confusing.

...” raided the offices of a Portland food processing plant suspected of employing hundreds of illegal workers”

Why, hell Boy. Just wait a month...and EVERYONE will become legal.

Such a farce, while kicking America in the balls.
