In Episode 12, I explore the horrors faced by U.S. meatpacking workers, who are primarily people of color, undocumented immigrants, and former prisoners. With over 175,000 working in this industry, the low pay, long hours, dangerous conditions, and mentally taxing work, is even more concerning. From a business perspective, this treatment is also not economically sustainable, with employee turnover exceeding 100% annually. Learn all this and more in the newest EcoThreads episode!
