'IV. Worker Health and Safety in the Meat and Poultry Industry
...
Five thousand workers die on the job each year in the United
States, and five million are hurt on the job; many of these are
preventable at reasonable cost.59
...

Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (2002). For a
comprehensive, solidly researched and source-cited review
of the status of workers' health and safety in the United States
from labor's perspective, see AFL-CIO, "Death on the Job:
The Toll of Neglect; A National and State-by-State Profile of
Worker Safety and Health in the United States," 13th edition,
April 2004.

"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."
