Summary and Responding to "The New Industrial Migrants" Part I

The New Industrial Migrants (Part I) Summary and Response
The article by Eric Schlosser shows how meatpacking jobs are run by immigrants and have a high turnover rate. He clearly stated how many workers at the plant can not even speak English. Most are immigrants who live in trailers not too far from their work place. Schlosser mentions that the pay at the slaughter house is 1/3 lower than what it use to be some forty years ago when they opened. The difference is they have health insurance after six months of employment and vacation pay. Most workers won’t be able to take vacation. Due to the fact they will be fired or laid off before the year is up.

(Speak about turnover rate………the case and how he responded to the question while being interrogated)……………………………Under Construction!!!!!!!!!!!! plus respond to article
