Excellent Dec. 1 Wall Street Journal article discusses rapidly
growing jobs that are dull, dangerous, dead-end, highly-monitored,
and low-pay.
The author visits and works in a poultry plant, visits a dirty
MuRF (recycling center), talks with workers and bosses. He refers
explicitly to Upton Sinclair's
_The Jungle_, and well he should -- these jobs are as bad as
meatpacking ever was, and growing fast.
Apparently after all the regulations and "government interference"
of the Welfare State and the New Deal, nothing has changed at all
for workers.
Capitalism: plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. Check it
out.
