OPA Press Release: Statement By Robert B. Reich On Workers In Poultry Processing Industry [11/26/1996]

For more information call: 202-219-8211

 
	 

The Department of Labor shares the concerns of the National Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice about the harsh, and perhaps unlawful conditions faced by workers in the poultry processing industry. The department has examined the working conditions in this industry and will initiate a special targeted enforcement project during the coming year to gauge the seriousness and extent of the problems. Sweatshop conditions -- whether in garment factories, fields, or poultry processing plants -- will not be tolerated.
