"Chicken Hunter wonders if we can't keep the workers documented then how many of the 32,000 hogs killed daily are really looked at for health, disease, Osma bin Piggy or maybe a cigarette butt. Because if I do the math...5000 employees and 32,000 hogs killed daily. Less the one worker who falls into a grinder, the eighty who cut off fingers, the seventy who are stoned and the 60+ managers that do what Corporate tells them to do. Roughly 3500 workers killing 32,000 hogs. Nine hogs per worker per day. Nice to see the consolidation of the food groups is really working out for the working man.
Chicken Hunter thinks these guys should make $48k a year at least. In my country Greenland"
Employees at a Smithfield Foods Inc. slaughtering plant returned to work Saturday after walking off their jobs the previous two days to protest the recent firing of immigrants.
In all, about 1,000 nonunion workers, mostly Hispanic, participated in the walkout, and company officials have said they won't be disciplined. The agreement to return to work came late Friday after Smithfield representatives met with leaders from a Roman Catholic Church to discuss the workers' grievances.
The plant in Tar Heel, located about 25 miles south of Fayetteville, employs 5,000 workers and slaughters up to 32,000 hogs a day. Smithfield, Va.-based Smithfield Foods (nyse: SFD - news - people ) is the world's largest pork processor.
