Chicken plant workers allege unsafe, racially insensitive work environment
Officials at the union representing workers at a Sanderson Farms chicken processing plant in Hazlehurst, Miss., are calling for the company to improve the unsafe working conditions and the racial insensitivity in the facility.
"(Sanderson Farms) has more pride in their product than they do their people," said Sherri Jones, a field representative for the Laborers International Union of North America Local 693. "This is 2012, and things need to change."
