"Qualitative case study research has documented numerous negative effects of slaughterhouses on workers and communities. Of the social problems observed in these communities, the increases in crime have been particularly dramatic [...] slaughterhouse employment increases total arrest rates, arrests for violent crimes, arrests for rape, and arrests for other sex offenses"
"Food Safety Company Employed More Than 100 Children, Labor Officials Say" "Packers Sanitation [a meat packing plant] employed the most child workers at a JBS Foods facility in Grand Island, Nebraska, where DOL [Department of Labor] investigators found 27 minors working. [...] Packers put 26 children to work at a Cargill plan in Dodge City, Kansas, according to the DOL [...] Packers also had children working at plants in Gibbon and Omaha, both in Nebraska." Many of these children are undocumented and so have no other options than to take these dangerous and traumatizing jobs.
