What changes did IBP introduce to the meat packing industry?
- eliminated need for skilled workers
- turned meatpacking into a disassembly line where workers would stand in their spot in the line all day and perform various cuts and compilations of meats. (p.153)
- "... tried to take the skill out of every step" (p.154)
what has been the relationship between labor unions and meat packing plants?
- Labor plants take skilled individuals to perform each step of the meat distribution process but it takes longer, therefore it does not make as much money as the meat packing plants where even though they are not the most sanitary, professional, or healthy, they are fast and easy ways to obtain the meat companies need.
What is the impact of small commuties on having a meat packing firm?
- A disgusting smells is released from meat packing firms every day.
- The manure of the animals killed is put into the ground and in turn it goes through YOUR tap, which could cause disease.
- It causes crime from the low payed migrants that are brought in high numbers to the areas who may not have been crime doers at first but have been manipulated by drug dealers who thrive of unsuspecting migrants.
