It's the second time in two years that a worker has died from injuries sustained in an accident at the Mar-Jac poultry facility.

    Workers under the age of 18 are supposedly not allowed to work in poultry plants because the dangerous conditions make it a violation of labor laws.

    The boy who died was in the 8th grade, his name was Duvan Perez.

    Yeah, but people want cheap chicken and most don’t give a fuck how they get it.

        Just the usual neoliberal apologism, blaming the customers for the abhorrent things the executives do to quench their greed.

        If you asked functionally anybody if they want child labor chicken and slave made clothing, they’re going to say “no”.

        They buy it because they don’t know, because they can’t afford another option or because there simply is no other option because Child Killin Chickin undercut the competiton by being the biggest psycopaths.

    From what I hear, “poultry facilities” (aka “chicken plants”) or horrible places to work. It is this companies second issue in two years. This time with a minor, I would hope this will carry more than a $30,000 fine.
