All the money he must have saved by not pampering and caring for his workers is going to be flushed away by very costly litigation!!!

They survived Peta and they will survive this.
Mark my words: They will come out from this story even stronger than before because the unions will have already spent their most potent threat. This incident will leave the unions without much punch any longer.

Yes, but the Torah proscribes better treatment than what Rubashkin provides. Besides, slavery is illegal here. Maybe you should go to Saudi Arabia.

They've already spent more then $4 Million in fines and settlements ($1.4 Million to the Allou Bankruptcy Court to avoid being charged w money laundering). The legal fees must be huge. And your worried about kosher meat prices going up? If they go out of business, prices may actually fall because we won't have to pay Rubashkin's legal fees! Then again, maybe they get a family discount.
