2 deaths from a machine starting up during maintenance? Plant needed to be shut down after the first one.
Who the hell doesn’t have lock out procedures for deadly machinery?
Lockout takes almost a whole minute of production time! That’s a waste, we need that time to churn out more pink slime for McDonald’s
Chicken does not come in pink slime variety. It is an urban legend that was debunked years ago.
I thought pink slime is just pulverized, raw chicken breast that is then squeezed into shapes. It’s pink because it’s raw, obviously once it’s cooked it’s just white meat.
That’s like saying hotdogs are an urban legend.
Wouldn’t a parent have some responsibility to know and understand where their minor child was working
I don’t see any claims in the article that said the parent were unaware where their child was working. It would appear what they were unaware of was the failure to follow laws and regulations.
I just have a hard time believing the mother didn’t actually know. The ultimate responsibility is obviously on the company, who should follow safety practices and follow the laws.
But hey, this is america get your cash money.
Didn’t know what? That lock out wasn’t being followed?
That her son was working illegally at a poultry plant.
She’s suing because the workplace is unsafe, not because of their illegal hiring practices.
