"Line workers are expected to process between 35 and 45 birds a minute at chicken factories, often without time for bathroom breaks..It’s also an industry that has some of the highest rates of occupational injury and illness in the country with extremely dangerous working conditions...Regulations for how workers are compensated for injuries differ from state to state and companies such as Tyson have resisted changes that would benefit their employees."
