         <link>http://www.uriltzedek.webnode.com/news/thomas-miller-iowa-attorney-generals-office/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[While we stood outside the church, we spoke Thomas Miller, Deputy Attorney General of Iowa. Over the course of our visit, Hispanic teenagers had been walking in and out of the St. Bridget's rectory accompanied by professionals. We asked what this was about, and he stated that it was part of the Department of Justice Investigation into child labor allegations at the plant. He could not comment further, but wished us well.]]></description>

         <link>http://www.uriltzedek.webnode.com/news/community-worker-sister-mary-mccauley/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[We met with Sister Mary McCauley inside the social hall of St. Bridget's church. Sister Mary is responsible for overseeing the administering of resource to families that have been affected by the May 12 raid.

She told us that with many fathers in jail and mothers not not allowed to work or leave, the community she serves has been devastated. Sister Mary expressed deep gratitude for the Jewish community's response to what she termed the "humanitarian crisis" in Postville after May 12, through...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We drove onto the Agri factory compound and walked up to the Human Resource Department with interest in hearing a few worker narratives. Outside of the office, there were many workers congregating. We spoke with Koby who was on his first day on the job in the shipping department. He had just walked out of orientation. When asked how that time was spent, he responded that the majority of their time was in safety training. He reported that relative to other work experiences he'd had, that this...]]></description>

         <title>Former Worker - Inez</title>
         <link>http://www.uriltzedek.webnode.com/news/inez/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[We met Inez, a former Agriprocessors employee on the back porch of her house. She spoke in a quiet monotone, with her head down for most of the conversation. She held a small baby on her lap and her tracking device visible on her ankle.

Inez worked at the plant for 3 years in the chicken department. She stated that she made $6.25 when she started and ended at $6.75 when she finished. When asked, Inez was not aware that $6.75 was under the state minimum wage. She described what were for her...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We met Maria in the social hall at St. Bridget's Church where she was picking up supplies for the week. An undocumented immigrant arrested in the May 12 raid, Maria was awaiting news on whether or not she would be deported. Her five year old son, Ernesto, was playing nearby.

Maria had worked in the plant for the previous nine years in the beef department. She was paid $6.25 when she started, and paid $7.25 at the time she was arrested in May. She described her job at the plant as "very fast...]]></description>
