Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Packaged chicken breasts at a grocery store in Fairfax, Va. in 2011.
Chicken is America’s favorite meat, but the price for workers in poultry plants may be high. Oxfam recently released a report alleging that poultry workers–including those in Maryland’s huge chicken processing plants–are routinely denied bathroom breaks, to the point that some workers wear diapers while on the job. This follows a report last year alleging poor working conditions, including a high injury rate, low pay and a culture of fear for many immigrant workers.
