You know I can believe it. I work for a large employer, we have a union and management continually tries to fuck us, so yeah its believable. Many people in management need to reverse the roll and do the work of the people they are In charge of for a week or two a year ... Reality check.I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ...

“We’re troubled by these claims, but also question this group’s efforts to paint the whole industry with a broad brush based on a handful of anonymous claims,” the groups said. “We believe such instances are extremely rare and that U.S. poultry companies work hard to prevent t
this story sounds like something that should be followed for awhile, it's not uncommon to have a hand full of employees who start rumors and trouble of this nature in a large work place.
if this is true we might see boarder agents sweeping these places and a all out cover your ass situation in the offices to produce legal worker documents, this could get real ugly and in the end the ones that loose will be the employees and the consumers.

We can help end this by eating locally grown organic foods. No doubt, some workers on organic farms are probably abused somewhere too but the likelihood is much less."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I just don't want to jump to conclusions right away because it seems a little far fetched for something like this to be going on inside large business's that have been around as long as they have, maybe it's true ? but I have been working for a large company for over 11 years now and have served as a union officer and during that time I've seen some shit happen that was not right(yes I called them on it) like employees who just came to work and did nothing all day or file a workman's comp claim over a injury they received at home or away from work and so on even employees who made false accusations about management or supervisors trying to get them fired
so I'll wait as the story develops to make any judgments.

in the work place usually an employee will bring a doctor's record of your illness and give it to the manager or supervisor, not always, but if it comes down to shitting my pants I'd bring that note in LOL !!!!lukin2006 said:

I would assume that's correct, but I'm not familiar with us labor law ... But are these illegals that are being taken advantage of? Are afraid to stand up for their rights?Godfather. said:

We can but the "organic" industry as a whole is way overpriced and it's hard for people to afford it..how they get away with $7-8 a gallon milk is beyond me.brianlux said:We can help end this by eating locally grown organic foods.

Your view is the view of those who are not very knowlegable about organic food. Knowing what the poultry factory farms pump into the chickens and how these are treated... This is all going into your stomach - you are what you eat. Ever feel sick after eating? It directly comes from what you eat. If you care one ounce about your health, your children's health, the care of the animals that we eat and the conditions of how it's produced... Organic meat and other foods are entirely worth every penny. Milk has hormones causing premature development in girls. Unless it's organic or says on the label that the cows did not get injected.Wma31394 said:

I suggest you see a few documentaries about how these chickens and other factory farms are operating so you can see what's going into your body. It will turn your stomach, especially Tyson and Purdue chickens.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ghvBZzeFxk0

It's stories like this that helped to convince me that free range eggs are well worth double the price. I would never buy factory eggs again. Helps that free range eggs are WAY WAY tastier.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

It's tough but I agree about free range eggs, price, etc.
But damn when you're stretching a budget factory eggs sure do help as an option.0 -
3 pack of 1/2 gallon cartons of organic low-fat milk at Costco is $10.99 prices may vary in your area, but that's what I pay living in the city. Also, the sell-by dates on organic milk are much longer than regular milk.Wma31394 said:

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
