Slavery conditions in chicken industry show that robots are ready to take this sector too

A new report by Oxfam revealed shocking data concerning the working conditions in the US chicken industry. They prove that the corporate neo-Feudalism is actually here already. We are talking about slavery conditions inside an increasingly deregulated environment where workers lose rapidly all their rights and benefits. Only a few examples from the report reveal the shocking picture.

...

In essence, the workers' rights are nearly vanished because the workers don't dare to report the violations, as they fear that they will lose their job. TTIP-type agreements force for more deregulation concerning the working rights. According to Oxfam (see video above), only four companies control nearly 60% of US chicken production. Where we have powerful lobbies they always push for increasingly reduced labor rights.

Additionally, the loss of jobs in other sectors due to hyper-automation creates oversupply of available workforce. The machines are pushing towards a fierce competition between the workers who seek desperately for a job in sectors that are still occupied by human labor. But this is only an intermediate stage as robots will soon occupy these positions too. Until then, the chicken industry will exploit the human labor "until the last drop" before dumping it like an empty peel of lemon.

The description in Oxfam's report is characteristic. Humans are denied even basic needs and pushed towards robotic behavior. The phrase “Workers are reduced to pieces of the machine, little more than the body parts that hang, cut, trim, and load ...”, shows characteristically that workers in the US do not have to compete with other cheap labor abroad anymore, but with a workforce which appears to be unbeatable: hyper-automated machines.

An additional proof for this new situation can be found, for example, in both China and US, something which, by the way, shows that Donald Trump either doesn't understand the rapidly formed new conditions, or, he is targeting China on purpose.
