WATERLOO, Iowa - The former owner and managers of a northeast Iowa kosher slaughterhouse that was the site of a massive immigration raid in May 2008 won't stand trial on thousands of state child labor charges until at least next year.
The case involving Agriprocessors Inc. was scheduled to go to trial Aug. 4 after being pushed back from April 20.
But during a Tuesday hearing in Waterloo, a judge granted both sides' request for more time.
A status hearing on case is scheduled for Jan. 6, 2010. No trial date has been set.
The Iowa attorney general's office has filed more than 9,000 child labor charges against the Postville plant, its owners and former managers. Prosecutors accuse them of hiring minors and in some cases of having children younger than 16 handle dangerous equipment.
