These individuals were fined for going to the bathroom. denied overtime pay. docked 15 minutes pay for every minute they were late to work. fired fur talking while on the clock. forced to ration toilet paper. which typically ran out before 9 a.m. Then we look at another industry. You can look here at the undocumented workers in the meatpacking industry who are exploited. One in ten workers is injured each year by the sharp hooks and knives. They suffer exhausting assemblyline speeds and painful damage from repetitive motions. That is the old ergonomics issue. Workers are subjected to chlorine mists that lead to bloody noses. vomiting. and headaches. Undocumented workers dont report their injuries because they live in fear that they will lose their jobs and be deported. The life of fear that is taking place is replicated in communities all over this country. We have these several hundred thousand individuals coming across the border.
