"Slaughterhouse Workers." Slaughterhouse Workers. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Mar. 2016.
Slaughterhouse Workers is an article and goes into depth of the employees and the known dangers of working in the slaughterhouse. Many of the workers are aware of the dangers of this job, but many of the injuries that occur can easily be prevented. Many of the companies just don't want to spend the extra money and one to ensure the safety of the workers. They also work 8 hour shifts which are normal,but for this specific type of work, it is much more exhausting physically and mentally because of the fast paced assembly lines. The employees are mainly trained to do one specific job that they specialize in to make the process most efficient. The conditions that are provided for the slaughterhouse workers are not safe because the companies are more concerned with being efficient and making money rather than a positive and safe work environment. I believe that with this type of work, the employees should either work shorter hours, better work conditions, or more breaks. This job is both mentally and physically exhausting because it is not the most pleasant job. There is also no individuality in the type of work because they are trained to specialize in a specific job so the assembly line is as efficient as it can be regardless of what's in the workers best interest.
