Well thats an interesting take on it, now let me give my view. It may explain why I feel the way I do.

First off, I've also worked at both plants plus I've been in the military. I can honestly say boot camp has nothing on working the kill floor. In the military you are treated a lot like you are treated at the packing plant. The military does this to train you to obey orders without question. I think the idea is the same at the plants.

Working at the plant was hard nasty filthy work but I did it long enough to realize they don't pay enough. I'm not surprised our plants are relative in pay to other plants considering these plants are well known for their hiring of illegals, but I have worked at other production plants and they not only paid better, but better benefits as well.

It has nothing to do with us "Caucasians" not willing to do the work and everything to do with Americans not willing to do a crappy job for crappy pay and treatment. Illegals, and imports make good packing plant workers because they don't complain about pay or conditions like us Americans.

In short, I had no problem doing the job. The problem I had was doing it for the price. I believe they should be paid more for that type of dangerous work.
