Not a job I'd apply for.

From the New York Slimes:

Quality Pork is the second biggest employer, with 1,300 employees. Most work eight-hour shifts along a conveyor belt — a disassembly line, basically — carving up a specific part of each carcass. Pay for these line jobs starts at about $11 to $12 an hour. The work is grueling, but the plant is exceptionally clean and the benefits are good, said Richard Morgan, president of the union local. Many of the workers are Hispanic immigrants. Quality Pork’s owner does not allow reporters to enter the plant.

I think these are some of those famous "jobs which Americans won't do"...

Cheers!

Three guesses why no-one was on the horn to OSHA before this. Yeah, let's hear it for illegal immigration.
