“Working In The Shadows” Goes From Green To Chicken Gory

Working In The Shadows
Working in the Shadows, a book by Gabriel Thompson, chronicles the author’s experiences working alongside Latino immigrants.
The jobs were often low-wage, monotonous and less than ideal.
Two particular short term careers Thompson held were at opposite ends of the spectrum–a lettuce farm and a chicken factory.
Harvesting lettuce in the hot sun sounds miserable, but working the graveyard shift handling greased down chicken meat sure comes in a close second.
Enough to make you go vegetarian, that’s for sure. And according to the New York Post, Thompson already was.
Have you ever worked for a company that you couldn’t buy lunch from because the food blatantly conflicted with dietary restrictions?
