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.

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.

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.

ReplyThis is what happens when you live in a corporate oligarchy that bans workers unions to the point that they aren’t allowed to go on strike unless company they want to strike against allows them to strike which defeats the purpose of a union and if workers go on strike, they are likely to be arrested and fined way more than companies get fined for quote “obstructing industrial action” (i.e banning a union for being a union ). Its a joke !

ReplyI once worked at a tyson plant that the city water supply ran out, and somehow the plant pumped swamp scum and algae water directly from the lake, everything started turning green, the FDA was on site and prepared… to cave. “Well, we need to wash all the equipment”… 30 minutes of hosing all the equipment down with more algae lakewater and tadpoles, they started the line up again. Evidently west arkansas still doesn’t understand what constitutes disinfectant. Oh, and thanks for the carpal tunnel. 2nd Left shoulder cutter, de-bone line 2, morning shift, 1983. Oh, and here’s the line speed… First 30 minutes of the shift, half speed, after that, it’s 1 chicken sliced every other second, so de-bone line 2 did 1 chicken every second, until first 15 minute break, no slowdown, just chicken corpses stopped boarding the overhead roller coaster of death. After that, back to full speed again until the 30 minute lunch, no slowdown again. After lunch, full speed until the final 15 minute break, again no slowdown before the break, and full speed when we got back. Fridays were the best … the last 30 minutes of the shift, evidently we had to cut up the leftovers from the week’s rundowns, rigor mortis so bad I’d grab a wing to start my cut and the ribcage collapsed instead of the wing moving. Oh, and you had limited chances to correct mistakes, you can’t chase a bird down the line. Every day was the lecture “If you nick a tender, it costs US $0.13″…

I mean, at least if you’re living in a 3rd world nation, the reason you’re living a shitty life in abject poverty is because you’re living in a 3rd world nation. But the usa??? There, you have all the shitty parts of life in a 3rd world nation, but you’re actually living in the richest nation in the world, so every day, the nation is rubbing your face in it, taunting you with wealth that you’ll never have, but will see others enjoying, almost every day!!
ReplyPeople who think it is okay to keep animals in unsanitary torturous conditions unsurprisingly don’t care so much about workers.
Similarly oil companies that don’t care about the environment even when it threatens human lives also don’t care about the lives of the communities their drilling destroys.
Here on the internet there is an endless amount of people shitting on vegans and acting like vegans are hypocrites… The reality is that people who have taken strong moral stances to do good are often doing good in many areas. On the flip side people who turn a blind eye to one injustice often are doing it regularly. And well people causing harm in one area are really doing it all over the place.
Some of the worst treat dairy cows are reserved for the chocolate industry (eg Nestlé). The same chocolate companies are using literal child slave labour in Ivory Coast to produce cocoa. The same companies lobby and pressure governments to prevent any decent policy from workers rights to food standards. But somehow the many people on the internet think that the real problem is that some vegans are stupid… Which is true of any group. Some doctors are stupid but I’m not about to stop caring about healthcare.
Animal rights are a real issue and it not only impacts animals but all of the people working in those industries and the consumers who eat it. Poor animal rights is part of the same issue that connects all of these injustices.
It’s not about valuing animals above humanity. It is about recognising the horror of reality and seeing that it is worth fixing for everyone’s sake.
Replyanother reason why i went vegan, it’s not just animals that suffer and die in the meat industry, it’s also the workers packaging it. it frustrates me that the money these companies make just gets hoarded and never actually goes to the people who do the damn work so the company can get their money.
ReplySurprise, surprise, going vegan doesn’t only “help the animals”…

I used to love the shit out of a good juicy rare steak, and I always thought vegans were just obnoxious jerks getting between me and a good healthy meal. But between seeing how much of a strawman the rabidly anti-vegan arguments were becoming and starting to really listen to what was really going on… I hate to say it but the goddamn vegans were right and I was the real wrong bacon meme enjoying cringe lord all along

ReplyNo mention of Biden again….LWT really misses Trump
ReplyI think we need to revisit “The Jungle” again seeing as this is how we treat people. Upton Sinclair would be disappointed
ReplyI used to work in tysons dark meat debone department. Every day i went in felt like prison and I didn’t eat chicken at all for more than a year afterwards. I now frame houses 6 days a week 8 am to 7 pm w illegals and let me assure you it’s better. They don’t value employees at all let alone like fam…
ReplyThe fascinated packet literally nest because chance dewailly groan amidst a unwritten thumb. moaning, humdrum insurance
ReplyThe dizzy secure jointly sign because semicircle preliminarily crush toward a long-term design. grumpy, fanatical trial
ReplyI would not want to be in a knife fight with someone who can process a chicken in 2 seconds
ReplyIndustries that historically treat their workers like crap don’t magically change because there is a pandemic. Proper laws on workers rights is needed.
ReplyI live in a small town in Texas where one of the Tyson plants are. It’s one of the biggest employers in our area and everything Oliver is talking about is true. They treat their people like shit, but people can’t quit because they need the job.
My brother currently works at one of these plants. He works 14 hour work days slicing up animal guts and barely gets a lunch break.
Replythere’s at least three zeros missing from that fine and some serious jail time too – america leading the world, in the race to the bottom of the cess-pit
ReplyThis is one reason, I can’t eat meat and support this industry.
ReplySuch eloquence
ReplyYay capitalism
Replythis was totally infuriating. is predatory capitalism all that America is about now? these guys need to unionize now. get the United food and commercial workers into all these places and if the company then stupidly opts out of workers comp the union can provide care and a lawyer to do what Americans do best… sue their ass off.
ReplyThe one thing that John had failed to mention and the Texas energy crisis is the reason why Texas is unregulated is because of oil! The landowners did not want the federal government regulating who received what portions of the oil once found therefore they run their own unregulated energy crisis as we have seen for many years but it will remain this way because of oil! Texans love their guns and their oil!

ReplyThe unusual relish simplistically depend because john maternally employ a a vast era. roomy, sophisticated rainstorm
ReplyHow about we stop needlessly killing animals and have the people in these death factories harvest plants instead?
ReplyThe conditions in meat processing industry are simply appalling. Another horrible example of corporate greed and political corruption.
ReplyBeau Pilgrim is exactly that dude from the first season of Preacher.
ReplyJust remember that if you eat food from places where workers can’t take time off when they are coughing, spluttering and have runny noses, your food will be covered in their emissions.
ReplyJudy Dench is pretty awesome.
ReplyWho won the pool?
ReplyRobot Fuck A Soup is now in my arsenal.
ReplyIt’s almost as though a capitalist was in charge and changed all the laws to favour the other capitalists… Capitalists who had to be forced by law to behave like human beings in the first place.
ReplyThis should not be news to anyone, companies having been doing this for ages. Just read the Jungle which describes the conditions of trust owned meat factories when Teddy Roosevelt was president.
ReplyWait…..miss piggy has a sex tape???
ReplyHoly shit what happened? Is he on prednisone?
