"Mohawk Industries accused of witness tampering"

From this:
An emergency hearing has been requested to determine if Mohawk Industries tampered with potential witnesses in a federal lawsuit.

The Calhoun-based carpet manufacturer is accused of "widespread employment of illegal workers" in order to drive down wages and workers compensation claims at their Northwest Georgia plants.

...one former employee and one current employee have stepped forward saying they have been subject to intimidation and threats aimed at stopping them from testifying in the case.

Presiding judge Harold L. Murphy is expected to decide Monday if an emergency hearing is needed to address the claims, according to court officials.
