| From Ergonomic Success in Meatpacking by Dan MacLeod |
B. Labor Conditions
Remember the slaughterhouse workers getting injured for the sake of profit in The Meatrix II 1/2?
The evil Con-Agra Agent replies to Moopheus' concern for the workers by saying "meat packing is the most dangerous job in the nation--but just like you, my friend, our workers are expendable."
Today we will learn a bit about these "expendable" workers, one third of whom will likely suffer from injuries such as "torn muscles and pinched nerves,...broken bones, deep cuts and amputated fingers and limbs" (Sustainable Table).
So, for Blog 15: The New Industrial Migrants please
read the two excerpts from Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation on pages 30-31 of your class packet.
summarize each reading separately (Part I and Part II).
write a response of at least 250 words to what you have read/summarized.
