The new chief executive officer of the kosher meatpacker targeted in an immigration raid and accused of child-labor violations says that his company will make fundamental changes.
In a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Thursday, hours after his hiring was announced, Bernard Feldman said his appointment as Agriprocessors' CEO will quickly lead to changes, especially in the personnel department and its ability to recruit skilled workers at its plant in Postville, Iowa.
Feldman also said the company will consider cooperating with efforts to unionize the plant, a move that would be a radical shift for a company that has gone to the US Supreme Court to fight union representation at its New York City distribution facility in Brooklyn.
"I am independent and I have absolute control in decision-making," Feldman said. "I am going to do whatever I think is right and best for the company."
