Chapter 7
Precis: This chapter addressed the meat packing industry and the treatment of immigrant workers. The policies, working conditions and the treatment of the workers were a little less then humane.
Gems/Thoughts- I think that its gross that many people know that the workers aren't getting treated well but yet still nothing has been done to stop it. Most of the time the employers don't record the employees injuries because its going to bring attention to the horrible conditions.
Chapter 8
Precis- This chapter focused on the injuries and conditions of working in a slaughterhouse. Many companies dont like to bring attention to their companies so they dont record injuries that occur during work hours. They hire illegal immigrants so that they are less likely to report them.
Gems/Thoughts- Since most of the workers are usually illegal immigrants not many people care (sad but true) and hiring illegal immigrants are way cheaper because you can usually pay them below minimum wage. Even though a lot of people know about this they dont do anything about it because its not that important to them, which again proves that most Americans are selfish money hungry pigs.
