Description
"When Smithfield Foods opened its pork processing plant in Tar Heel, North Carolina, in 1992, workers in the rural area were thrilled to have jobs at what was billed as "the largest slaughterhouse in the world". However, they soon left in droves because of the ... line speed and high rate of injury. Those who stayed wanted higher wages and safer working conditions, but every time they tried to form a union, the company quickly cracked down, firing union leaders, assaulting organizers, and setting minority groups against each other. [This book] sheds ... light on the challenges workers face not just in meatpacking, but everywhere workers have lost their power to collectively bargain with powerful corporations"--Amazon.com.
