post#21 part 2 "the new industrial migrants"

 In this article part 2 of "industrial migrants" by Eric Scholosser, talks about the aspects of meatpacking. IBP a meat packing company came up with a idea to  put out recruiting team in poor communities threw out the U.S.  to keep a flow of people to work for there company. These were states such as new york, new jersey,california, north carolina and rhode island,had these centers  as well provided shelter for  there workers and bus import them to there jobs and back. they also supported the efforts to enforce the law that INS  did,  is not  to hire undocumented workers who are not authorized to work in the U.S.  One problem had develop when  they realized that the poor workers had no health insurance that drove up local medical costs. also in Minneapolis, Minnesota a company there  promise to provide housing for steady workers but had back fired with the offer that GFI america would pay $17 for each worker and donate hamburgers but did not work. The majority  of new recruits wanted rental apartments  but refused to stay in shelters. this cause made the workers feel tricked and misled. 

  Further more the company IBP slaughter house, INS, and GFI  i'm proud of. because of the efforts they are trying to make for the better working conditions they are making for there employee. despite the mix emotions of how the workers feel of being misled and tricked. at lease these people get to sleep in a shelter and have a transport bus to take them to work and back home. this to me is a step better then the conditions that the migrate works have lived in the 1980s.
