"Although official statistics are not kept, the death rate among
slaughterhouse sanitation crews is extraordinarily high. They are
the ultimate in disposable workers: illegal, illiterate, impoverished,
untrained. The nation's worst job can end in just about the worst
way. Sometimes these workers are literally ground up and reduced
to nothing

During the same years when the working conditions at America's
meatpacking plants became more dangerous - when line speeds
increased and illegal immigrants replaced skilled workers - the
federal government greatly reduced the enforcement of health
and safety laws."
