Wal-Mart Says It Aided Janitor Probe
From Associated Press
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it had been cooperating with federal investigators for three years when agents surprised it with a raid that rounded up about 250 alleged illegal immigrants working as cleaning crews at Wal-Mart stores in 21 states.
Wal-Mart said it had slowed a money-saving plan to move its floor cleaning in-house so it could better help the government investigate the use of illegal immigrants by janitorial contractors.
The U.S. attorney’s office did not respond to a request for comment.
