Subcontracted workers

jeudi 30 septembre 2021 à 02:00

Meat processing in Europe uses subcontracted workers so as to pay them scraps and subject them to offal working conditions.

Since meat production harms the Earth's climate, and eating a lot of meat endangers a person's health, it would be good for meat to get more expensive.

*Unions are calling for a Europe-wide ban on the use of subcontracted workers.*

Hooray! This should not be limited to meat packing. Consider Amazon warehouses, cleaning of businesses, delivery work, and many other fields.

Subcontracting's reason for existence is to permit mistreating workers, so let's limit it to small amounts of work, for which full time workers are not feasible.
