We're representing Haitian slaughterhouse workers in a suit against meatpacking giant JBS. Haitians were trained in languages they did not speak and assigned to work up to 20% faster than other employees. Read more about JBS' illegal discrimination ➡️https://buff.ly/Ar0FZIL
Headline: We're Suing JBS. Subheading: FarmSTAND is suing JBS, one of the world's biggest meatpackers, for what we allege is the systemic exploitation of over 1000 Haitian slaughterhouse workers. Image: Three workers in hard hats walked down a hall lined with beef carcasses. Heading: The complaint alleges: Text: -Haitian workers were not trained in a language they spoke. -Haitian workers were promised that they would be provided lodging, and instead were charged for dirty and crowded motel rooms. -JBS assigned the majority of the Haitians to work almost 20% faster than the other employees. At this rate, workers have to perform a slaughter task every ten seconds. Image: Workers on a crowded line butchering meat as it comes down a conveyor belt. Text: I'm a part of today's lawsuit because I don't want workers - my fellow Haitians or any group of workers who may come to the U.S. in the future - to suffer in the way that I have. -Nesly Pierre, plaintiff. Image: A slaughterhouse worker pictured from behind wearing red and carrying a raw carcass across their back.
