They now are making a big deal about going after the "employer". They announced it and it was replayed on the evening news.
I suspect this is a PR stunt to appear "impartial".

(19,564 posts)8. I found two of the owners.
One of the plants is owned by Koch Foods Inc., which bills itself as one of the largest poultry processors in the U.S. with more than 13,000 employees. Forbes ranks it as the 135th largest privately held company in the country, with an estimated $3.2 billion in annual revenue, according to Fortune.
Another plant raided Wednesday is in Canton, Miss., and is owned by Peco Foods Inc., based in Tuscaloosa, Ala. It is the eighth-largest poultry producer in the U.S., according to the company's website.

Big players there, a slap on the hand fine at best.
