Dangerous Work

Re the deplorable and dangerous labor conditions at slaughterhouses (July 9): IBP cuts the work hours to seven hours and 56 minutes in order to avoid giving workers a decent break and lunch hour? Desperate employees often “soil themselves,” unable to take a bathroom break. A third of their employees injure themselves on the job every year. An IBP spokesperson has the gall to claim that employee injury and illness prevention is important to IBP.
Where, oh where, are the labor lawyers when you need them?
