Hard Time on the Killing Floor - Inside Big Meat By Jeffrey St. Clair
All is not right at the IBP Inc. plant in Pasco, Washington, one of the nation's biggest slaugherhouses.
Workers say that IBP doesn't give them adequate breaks and cheats them out of pay for the 30 minutes a day it takes to put on and remove the protective clothing, glasses and gloves they must wear to work the cutting line. According to union shop steward Maria Martinez, many workers are often denied bathroom breaks, forcing them to urinate in their pants so they won't fall behind.------------------------------------------- posted 8:58 AM :: reference link ::
