The president of Nebraska Farmers Union says more needs to be done to ensure the safety of the state’s meatpacking plant workers.
John Hansen says there needs to be better oversight of packing
plant safety practices, at the state level, to make sure things such as
workplace modifications, safety equipment, process changes, and sick leave benefits
are in place as they should be.
“Because it’s not happening from OSHA and it’s not happening from USDA—it’s not happening from anyone,” Hansen says.
