Sholom Rubashkin, his father Aaron Rubashkin (pictured), and several other former employees of Agriprocessors; all child labor charges.

A trial has been set for May 4 on the 9,211 state child labor charges against Agriprocessors and some former employees.

The trial, to be held in Black Hawk County District Court, was discussed today during a status hearing and is expected to last three weeks. The charges were filed in Allamakee County, but First Judicial District Judge Nathan Callahan is assigned to Black Hawk County, so he proposed moving the hearings and trial to that county.
