1. What kind of injuries do workers in meat packing plants typically suffer?
Meat packers normally stab themselves or someone around them. There is a possible chance of Tendinitis, and cumulative trauma disorders. They also tend to develop back problems, shoulder problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, and "trigger finger".
2. What is the impact on workers of speeding up the line in meat packing plants?
When the lines speed up, the workers are put under more pressure and this leads to accidental cuts and stabbings. The workers tend to neglect sharpening there knives since they want to keep up with the lines, and that puts stress on their bodies. So not only are they stabbing themselves, and even others, but there also stressing themselves out.
