Smithfield is, unsurprisingly, exceptionally bad to its workers

No Shortcuts chapter 5, by Jane McAlvey posted:


Pellas, the only woman who was allowed into the National Labor Relations vote count in 1997, described in horrific detail the scene during that second election, conducted over three days:

quote:

It was a defeat in many ways, not just the numbers, we were being chased down the stairs by goons, the NLRB agents were hiding under the voting tables, the company was having people arrested outside as they tried to come in and vote, Smithfield had hired and deputized their own police force dressed in riot gear and stationed them all around the plant for the election, forcing workers to do something like walk the plank if they attempted to vote in the election.

More than 100 labor law violations were filed by the union against the company resulting from the 1997 “election.” Pellas described it as something beyond a loss—more a beat-down of epic proportions; the kind of drubbing intended to drive what professional union busters call futility, along with fear, into the hearts and minds of workers, so they’d never again think about forming a union.

That's a UV sterilizing apparatus at an old Soviet sanatorium. They do use radon water for it's healing powers, though

Let's not forget the litany of self-proclaimed medical experts in D&D who said that there is no possible way that foreign tissue can trigger an autoimmune response, and that while working conditions were deplorable, the lawsuit against QPP was without merit.

It turns out the robots have a more effective union and a better health plan, so don't expect change anytime soon.

Australia's just released contact tracing seems to be about as badly designed as possible if you gave a poo poo about data security. To the point where we're not even hosting our own medical records about this stuff domestically.
