Since most of them are probably muzzies, they can use the toilet on their prayer breaks.

Sorry...don't believe it.

Sounds like the "We hate the chicken industry" is up to no good again.

One does know that a lot of people wear diapers these days. Ask my 50 year old daughter what happens if she sneezes?

I'm sure this is a problem in many assembly lines.

I know BS, and especially Leftist BS when I see it. This is BS.

There is no way any company in this land would get away with anything as is described in this article. It’s BS.

Pure leftist BS.

My parents met in a working chicken plant in VA 50 plus years ago. Its still there but it’s all Mexicans employees now. My uncle worked security until a few years ago. I assure you that these folks would find an English speaker and assert the privilege of their “brown” skin.

Name the company. I want to avoid those chicken products. If workers are so devalued, they’re mad as hell, and sabotage of the product is only to be expected.

I claim BS! I retired from Perdue two years ago and as part of my job, traveled extensively to every plant they owned. The quickest way for a Supervisor to get demoted or worse was to have a claim filed with HR. Whoever wrote the article never worked for any of the leading Poultry Producers. Perdue is a Quality Employer and Jim Perdue’s name goes on every package they sell. Great Company, Great Product! (OK, I admit I'm biased but I stand by that!)

The owner of the company I used to work for denied breaks for a guy that I worked with that had IBS. He said it wasn’t fair to others who did not use the bathroom as much as he did.

Let’s see... they list the four largest chicken producers in the country...

It would be sad if something bad happened to the managers of the poultry plant.

Pampers brand doesn’t market an adult diaper. As a matter of fact, Procter & Gamble only markets one brand of adult diaper for women and none for men. Unless the worker is a little person and fits a Size 6 toddler diaper (the largest they make), the author didn’t vet the story at all. If they can’t get such a basic fact straight, then the entire story is suspect.

Who recalls Perot’s hilarious infomercials about the Arkansas economic miracle, with a big picture of a chicken. Tyson foods must have employed 40% of the trailer parks. Arkansas now also has Walmart, so they make money on diapers, too.

It doesn’t say which state this is in.

I find that suspicious. Any state labor department would be all over this. And the health inspectors would be as well.

It’s not the 1900’s. And they cannot ALL be corrupt.

I am calling bs on this being anything but some fat chick with bladder issues.

I understand the skepticism, but I remember in my college days that there were news stories of Mexie workers crapping in the fields they were picking in for similar reasons - toilet facilities weren’t provided and pay was strictly on how much crops they brought in. Can’t dismiss this right out of hand.
