Tyson Foods and Perdue Farms face federal probe over possible child labor violations
Imagine a world where RICO was used to prosecute things like this instead of peaceful protesters.
Well DoJ and FBI could do their job... But that ain't how this country works tho
Isn't that what the probe is?
Peaceful?
And making bets related to worker COVID-19 infections. That's not even mentioning use of ICE as a weapon against labor. The owners and management are comic book level of vile human beings.
I feel like I just read a story about children working in meat processing factories. Guess we're skipping right to The Jungle then.
On the one hand, do I think they did it? 100% yes. On the other, am I surprised the law is signaling they might do something about it? Also yes.
There have been dozens of credible reports of such violations, of children being maimed and losing limbs even, and now finally there's a probe? Watching the law take this much time to announce it will begin to investigate what's been in the news for years almost convinced me it didn't want to do it at all.
Does this mean they are going to discontinue the Tyson Boneless Children Fingers?
"Tyson Boneless Breaded Childrens Fingers" sounds like it was typed up by someone dyslexic, but could also be an interesting Halloween product (made of candy hopefully) 😆
Even more of a reason to stop eating meat.
Because the produce industry doesn't violate workers rights...
No, noooo. They have uhh... they have fairies come in and pluck only the ripest fruit at very livable wages... please don't look in to this too closely. Definitely don't go in to the shanty village and start asking questions.
Math equation says, plant eating requires less land, which means fewer workers exploited. Also I'm pretty sure plant farmers don't have a 400% turnover rate. It's almost like even if the math were equal, which it isn't, killing animals all day is bad for your mental health.
So doing something good shouldn't be done if it's not good enough?
*Even more of a reason to stop eating.
Cesar Chavez be like “you think lettuce is innocent?”
But. Why do the kids need to work in the first place
Because we're trending towards 3-4 income houses being required to make rent.
That's the dream
They yearn for the mines
"We take the legal employment and safety of each individual working in our facilities very seriously and have strict, longstanding policies in place for Perdue associates to prevent minors from working hazardous jobs in violation of the law..."
They say they didn't do it. Did they or is this just another another DOL shakedown?
Two major companies who have monopolized food. I am shocked.
Exploit animal bodies on mass scale. I'm shocked they'd exploit children's bodies too 🥴
yeah, but animals don't matter /s
