The firing of 200 employees at a China Grove company last week was the result of a government strategy targeting employers of illegal immigrants.
Lone Star Bakery Inc., which provides baked goods to restaurants and food service operators, laid off 200 of the 500 people it employs at two plants in the town southeast of San Antonio. A company official said an audit conducted last year found that about 200 bakery employees did not have proper documentation to work in the U.S.
Lone Star Bakery was alerted of that Feb. 2 and on Feb. 16 fired the employees, according to the company's attorney.
