What is recorded here
Rath Packing Company in Waterloo, Iowa, grew from a hog butcher into the nation's largest meatpacking facility by 1941, surviving wars and depressions with profits in most years. The 1948 strike turned violent, killing a union member and overturning cars until National Guard troops restored order. Employee ownership in 1980 came too late; falling pork demand and an inefficient four-story plant dragged Rath into losses until it closed in 1985.
rath is recorded as a archaeological place in County Down. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
