The pandemic has thrown into high relief some of the longstanding issues surrounding working conditions in meatpacking facilities. John Oliver explains why greater oversight is needed, and how we can go about getting it.

If you don’t know by now, it goes like this “they are not slaves, they get paid”. Your fault for supporting a system that is not even considering nature and kills everything it gets to: land, animals, people.
It’s the same story in germany with meat workers. Same thing, same bullshit.
ReplyThis is just Capitalism. No amount of regulation or oversight can fix it, when Capitalism *FUNDAMENTALLY* values profit over human life.
ReplyLolololol. I’ve worked at a Tyson plant and can tell you that they don’t give a flying fuck about a single one of their employees. Like, at all. I don’t think I ever heard a single person even suggest that the company cared about anyone that wasn’t management. Pretty much everybody thought the exact opposite.
ReplyIn fact, I’ve never worked at a company that actually cared about its employees. I mean, all of them have claimed to. But the reality is that they are genuinely surprised when you point out the low morale, constant mismanagement issues, and employees being blatantly ignored. And when these problems are actually brought to light by somebody willing to tell management that management sucks, management fires the person and then throws a pizza party and is fucking stunned when morale doesn’t improve.
The management in this country has literally 0 leadership skills. They think they can just use their rank to order people around because of paychecks and what-not. And we wonder why all these companies just absolutely suck at moving along.
What’s new some hypocrite libral saying meat is bad and u don’t get paid enough and he is Rich eating all and everything just pass the ubi
ReplyThe fact that American judges uphold a waiver that was signed under immense pressure, tells you enough about the American justice system
ReplyFor everyone planning to eat meat after this video in sorry for you, anyways I’m gonna enjoy my morning star veggie sausage now!
ReplyHope you present a bit of info in about the farmers’ protests in India, if that’s ok. We need unbiased outsider objectivity on that one too.
ReplyJohn I have to disagree
I quite like the foyer
ReplyVery messed up. Maybe highlight the ridiculous amount of work and time youth social workers, case managers, floor staff in treatment facilities do and the astonishingly low amount they are paid. People working in the mental health field are often taken advantage of, underpaid, and ridiculed by other levels of the judicial system. But yet, its for the kids and we should just take it. Im sure its everyones life dream to be degraded and berated by the kids and people you work with.
Replycapitalism, slavery, govt. not caring Nothing new
ReplyI most countries if your company force you to sign against your rights… it is a void agreement.
ReplyYup, just another reason to say “F*CK TEXAS! Just F*CK TEXAS!!” Such a stupid place, full of people voting against their own damned interests!!! Just a ridiculous stereotype gone wrong down there, so crappy for no reason!!
Reply‘MURICA. The greatest country in the world. The envy of the world. Loooooooooooooooooool
ReplyOliver always talks about how unattractive or unappealing he is. If I hadn’t been cursed at birth with the wrong equipment I would have this man’s baby’s. err… assuming he agreed to it obviously c.c
He is a treasure, he is an adorable human being, he is kind, he gives ungodly amounts of money to charity, he’s funny, and he’s cute. I honestly don’t know why he’s so down on him self but more people should tell him he is a wonderful human being and the self shaming, while endearing, is probably not healthy.
ReplyUnless we make SERIOUS fucking changes this will be morr and more common. We are being nudged every day to less safety, less pay, less benefits, more hours, and lower standards. This is our current reality.
ReplyWorkers have been getting shafted for so long. And they just sit and take it. Needs to be country wide workers strikes. No power to the people of the people don’t take power.
ReplyI thought this was comedy show.
ReplyThis proves that United States of America is worst like a Third World Country. Such a shit hole country.
ReplyThis is why unions are important.
