Even More Abuse – Poultry Workers Wear Diapers

It seems to be the week for highlighting the corporate abuse of workers – first the cartoonist who was fired, then the woman who was told to wear high heels, and now poultry workers have apparently taken to wearing diapers because of the lack of bathroom breaks. It is nice to see that the National Chicken Council believes that “such instances are extremely rare”, as if that supposedly make is more tolerable. And, again, this is not some fly-by-night operation; this is Tyson Foods, another multinational corporation. Where do corporations find people who tolerate this kind of behavior – perhaps from the top business schools in this country?
