Description
The Meat Packing Industry is the lowest paying industrial job. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 1999, it is also the most dangerous job in America, with more than 40,000 workers injured on the job every year. The industry is doing little to solve this problem and is continuing to profit from the illegal action. The problems in the meat packing industry affect us all; it is the meat we buy in the supermarket, the meat we eat at fast food restaurants, and the food that is served in our university cafeterias. This research examines the efforts,'or lack or efforts, of the industry to address these problems. How these issues affect consumers is discussed.
