The new industrial migrant were not treated fairly in the meatpacking industrial because most of them don't speak English. Most of the worker are Mexican immigrant who do not have working paper. There living conduction are very poor they live any where they can find shelter even if they have to sleep on the floor. One significant interest is although the basic pay is $9.25 per hour they are still lower then what is was forty years ago. Not because they are immigrant they should not get pay for they labor the slaughterhouse employer are taking disadvantage of the immigrant they are hard worker. If they get hurt they are not able to work any more, so the will end up doing crime. They have a high turnover because they do not offer better wages. In Jamaica i an use to see my grand father killed cows and it is a very hard job and he did not have a slaughter house he did it the old fashion way by tie the cow on a tree and kill it. So it the slaughter house are producing more meat then they should be able to pay there work er more than $9.25 per hour not because they are immigrant. In this time where inflation are so high how can a person make it on $9.25 per hour if they have a family or living by then self. The government need to put a law in force that slaughterhouse to be more dependable for the work and pay a better wages.
