    For some reason the thing that sticks out to me most here is the fact that the packing plant is owned by a company out of Oklahoma and that the Janitorial contractor hasn’t just been fined before, it’s be fined before in multiple states and has operations stretching from nw Iowa to VIRGINA

        Like, when does such an egregious violation of labor laws become good for business? Somebody had to know this would not end well.

    How are Iowans shocked? Isn’t this what Reynolds said, that children wanted to work? They keep voting in the person who wants to put their children to work

    The children yearn for the head splitters.

    tbh this kind of shit was the reason I don’t eat animal products anymore, this industry just loves exploiting children and putting workers in danger and ruining lives. Something about the blood just makes the managers bloodthirsty.
