Labor rights in American meatpacking industry
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulates the labor rights of workers in the American meat packing industry.〔〔 According to scholars of the American meat packing industry, despite federal regulation through OSHA and industry oversight, workers in meat production plants have little agency and inadequate protections.〔 Workers in the industry perform difficult jobs in dangerous conditions, and are at significant risk for physical and psychological harm.〔〔〔 In addition to high rates of injury, workers are at risk of losing their jobs when they are injured or for attempting to organize and bargain collectively.〔 Several of studies of the industry have found immigrant workers - "an increasing percentage of the workforce in the industry"〔 - especially at risk of not having their labor rights sufficiently protected.〔〔
==Characteristics of the American meat production industry==
Within the meat production industry, "meatpacking" is defined as "all manufacturing of meat products including the processing of animals." This includes production of beef, pork, poultry, and fish.〔 The scope of the American meat production industry is large; it slaughters and processes over 10 billion animals per year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://farmusa.org/statistics11.html )〕
Since 2004, four companies essentially control the American meat production industry. Broken down, the companies managed 81% of the beef production, 59% of the pork production and 50% of the poultry market. Within the poultry industry, Tyson and Perdue control each stage of chicken production, from raising the chicks to shipping the meat to grocery stores.〔
The number of animals butchered in the meat production industry appears to be growing. In 2010, nearly 10.2 billion land animals were slaughtered and raised for food in the United States.〔 According to a (report ) by the Farm Animal Rights Movement, based on data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), these numbers indicate a 1.7% increase from the 2009 data.〔 There was a 0.9% increase in U.S. population between 2009 and 2010, "meaning that animals () per-capita increased slightly"〔 by 0.8%.
