In “Fast Food Nation” Eric Schlosser has explored the physical and mantel torture faced by the meatpacking industries’ employees. Many workers of these industries are illegal immigrants. Because of financial instability and language barrier, they are forced to work in such companies. These companies often pay less and give dangerous job. They do not give these workers to join labor union. So, when the employees injured, companies do not pay compensation. Many of these injured workers are not getting medical benefits. Do you imagine how much these meatpacking industries give compensation for the family of dead workers when they died at job? The value of workers is only $480 for these employers. Writer has clearly stated the emotional and physical pain of meatpacking companies’ employees. They have treated workers unacceptably. Furthermore, some female workers are facing sexual harassment. Their supervisors force to do such worse thing. If these employees do not willing to do, supervisor threaten to eliminate them from that company. Many of these workers do not have legal papers and they may not get job in other places. As a result, they are forced to sit silence of such harassment.
