JBS workers launch first US meatpacking strike in 40 years, union says

only 1 week left for the public to comment on the trump admin/USDA trying to speed up the kill lines at slaughterhouses

this is a move that will lead to more death and injury among a job industry that already experiences more injuries than all other jobs in the US combined in an industry that consistently is FINED for child labor exploitation

previous administrations (Republican and Democrat) have tried to speed up the kill lines and it has been rejected every single time for safety. the USDA did a study to try to prove it was acceptable and their own study disproved them

One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention

America’s slaughterhouses could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

there are two separate types of regulations so comment on both: pork | poultry

i live in slaughterhouse country. the city trump chose after LA to raid this summer was mine. we don't even have 1 million people here. but we have lots of slaughterhouses and are the second largest producer of beef in the nation (after texas)

immigrants make up a large number of slaughterhouse and meatpacking industry employees. would it be a stretch to say the facilities were raided early to set the expectation that if we demand your child work you better keep your fucking mouth shut? i'm not sure it would

no one went to work in the facilities that week

that part of town was deserted

please leave your comments against speeding up the kill lines:

pork | poultry

Underneath the metal is always a bunch of rotten meat. Take it from me, I work at the factory. I pack the meat into the machines . This is one of three brand new pieces at the @mortalmachinegallery booth in @scopeartshow Miami. This is always the case but this one REALLY looks better in person and I wish more of you could see it for real. . . . . . . . #meatpacking #collageart #handcutpaper #handcutcollage #surrealcollage #surrealist (at SCOPE Miami Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClkIZXcOZ1R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
