Where is Upton Sinclair when you need him?

Disgusting. This really sickens me.

Have we truly returned to the days of the robber barons, company stores and endentured servitude?(rhetorical at best)

Since the late 1970s, Henry's Turkey Service has been shipping mentally retarded men from Texas to Iowa to work in the West Liberty plant

SHIPPING?! For f**k's sake, SHIPPING? Cattle are shipped, commodities are shipped.

I suprised they didn't charge these men for "shipping and handling" as well. Greedy mother f**king b*****ds.

I can't believe this story. How can anyone sleep at night knowing full well that their company is doing this to people. I hope that Karma comes and bites them in the a**

I'm astounded as to how anyone could be so cold hearted as to treat people this way. The owners should go to prison.

Frequently they're known as CEO's and most of them sleep quite soundly.

exploitation knows no ideology, no nation, no god.

ideologies, religions, the state...nothing but covers and dressings of exploitation.
