Agriprocessors' HR Director Billmeyer is said to have been locked out of Agriprocessors today on the order of trustee Joseph Sarachek. Why?
We don't yet know why, but Postville sources have confirmed that Billmeyer's family is upset about the lockout.
Sarachek's man at Agriprocessors, Marc Ross, did not return a mid-morning call from me for comment and did not respond to calls and emails from Radio Postville.
Billmeyer is said to be due to testify in front of another grand jury Wednesday, in what may signal another round of indictments against Agriprocessors executives and Rubashkin family members.
Billmeyer is widely believed to have been a lynchpin in the document fraud and identity theft allegedly used by Agriprocessors to retain a largely illegal – and vastly underpaid – workforce.
