You may be right, I may be thinking about meat packing plants. However, that still doesn't change the fact that we're subsidizing their cheap labor. We have a program (H-2A) designed especially for the farmers but many of them refuse to use the program because they cry that the process is to costly and cumbersome.Quote:
What you may be thinking of were the slaughterhouse workers, who handled large products like beef and pork. Those guys through the Black Meatpackers Union earned around $16 an hour, the highest manufacturing and processing wage of the times.
