Upton Sinclair's The Jungle
This man wrote The Jungle at the turn of the beginning 20th century. It was a book (NOTE: READ PEOPLE!) all about the inhumanity to workers in the meat packaging industry and how they were met with horrible ends or became disfigured as a result of the working conditions. The disfigured or mauled people simply lost their jobs. There were more shmucks waiting outside the door to take their place. This prompted then President Theodore Roosevelt to become involved and for government mandates to be made. Changes were made back then.
We need another man like Teddy R, since CANT DO has jumped on the meat wagon with a present-day freak meat packing company (another 12-hour special)...I wonder if THEY get breaks or lunch? I wonder if OSSHA steps foot inside these places? Meat is bungled along by men and women who can't (CANT DO!) even speak the language. How can safety and health rules be followed in such a place? Ask the CANT DO farie, maybe? And why do we all have to give up our lives to 12-hour special shifts anyway? More importantly why are YOU (THE WORKERS) not asking these questions for yourselves?
