Let’s see... they list the four largest chicken producers in the country...
and all four of them are denying their workers bathroom breaks...
I’ve got this bridge in Brooklyn real cheap you can buy....
——Name the company. I want to avoid those chicken products. If workers are so devalued, they’re mad as hell, and sabotage of the product is only to be expected.——
Hint: read the article...
You don’t actually believe this bullsquat, do you ?
Well sure, outside of hiring many millions who are in country illegally and paying them 1995 wages, the U.S. business owners are all honorable and above board. Right!
It would be sad if something bad happened to the managers of the poultry plant.
They can then put the diapers on their heads.
Bump for later.
Pampers brand doesn’t market an adult diaper. As a matter of fact, Procter & Gamble only markets one brand of adult diaper for women and none for men. Unless the worker is a little person and fits a Size 6 toddler diaper (the largest they make), the author didn’t vet the story at all. If they can’t get such a basic fact straight, then the entire story is suspect.
Who recalls Perot’s hilarious infomercials about the Arkansas economic miracle, with a big picture of a chicken. Tyson foods must have employed 40% of the trailer parks. Arkansas now also has Walmart, so they make money on diapers, too.
What do poultry workers smell like?Well,Depends.
It doesn’t say which state this is in.
I find that suspicious. Any state labor department would be all over this. And the health inspectors would be as well.
It’s not the 1900’s. And they cannot ALL be corrupt.
I am calling bs on this being anything but some fat chick with bladder issues.
Uh... Quit.
You may notice I replied before seeing the names farther down. I don’t care about Tyson. They’re lowlife buddies with the Clintons. I’ll do without chicken before I buy a Tyson product. But Perdue is another matter. I AM going to contact them and ask about it.
It won’t hurt anything for them to realize that we down-homers are aware and are watching them. Actually, with the fresh dressed poultry available at the local Friday and Saturday Farmers Market, I don’t need Tyson OR Perdue. But I prefer to see Perdue do right, and do well.
I understand the skepticism, but I remember in my college days that there were news stories of Mexie workers crapping in the fields they were picking in for similar reasons - toilet facilities weren’t provided and pay was strictly on how much crops they brought in. Can’t dismiss this right out of hand.
Full marks to both of my fellow FReepers, for immediately catching the reference. ;)
