Major victory for meatpacking workers! A federal judge threw out a Trump-era deregulation that eliminated line speed limits in hog slaughter plants. Congrats to @UFCW and @Public_Citizen on the hard-fought win! My thoughts for @hrw π

I just signed @hrw's petition to demand @USDAFoodSafety @mbrashears stop endangering US meat workers' safety by ending their policies that increase line speeds in meat plants. Sign the petition: https://t.co/txLbWSZRwr #SlowDownTheLine
"He's bleeding bad and he's in shock... please tell them to hurry up before the man dies."
Devastating new report shows the dangers US chicken workers face, and how @USDAFoodSafety line speed policies threaten to make things even worse. #SlowDownTheLine

In a dangerous move today, the #USA gov't has decided remove line speed regulations in pig processing plants. @hrw's @Komala_chandra explains why the admin's new rule places workers at greater risk of occupational injury. @AFLCIOGlobal https://t.co/Z1Mg8MwSC3 #SlowDownTheLine

The @USDAFoodSafety @mbrashears decision yesterday to lift speed limits on work lines will make already dangerous conditions even more hazardous for US meat workers.
RT if you agree America's workers deserve better.

Meat & poultry workers told @mcconnell_m @hrw how line speed causes serious injuries. New rule published by @USDAFoodSafety privatizing inspection will speed up the line & make a dangerous situation even worse. Oped in @USATODAY #SlowDownTheLine https://t.co/x5Ze8l4jfe

American workers shouldnβt have to live in fear of serious injury or death to do their jobs, says @mcconnell_m (ex-@hrw) in @USATODAY
New Trump admin moves to cut regulation could make the meatpacking industry still more dangerous

Shame on @USDAFoodSafety @mbrashears who in a dangerous new move yesterday removed line speed limits in hog plants, placing workers at serious risk of injury & even death. Faster speeds = more danger for workers. Send USDA a message to #SlowDownTheLine: https://t.co/koBBYqHuO9
"The title of an in-depth report on working conditions in slaughterhouses, just released by @hrw, says it all: βWhen we are dead and buried our bones will keep hurting.β Despite dangers to workers, @USDAFoodSafety just allowed hog plants to increase line speeds
#SlowDownTheLine
USDA plans to let slaughterhouses self police. This is dangerous and deadly for workers, and could be hazardous to consumers. #slowdowntheline @hrw @thehill

This will affect people working in hog plants - a recent @hrw report quotes one worker on the pain of laboring on the line: βWhen weβre dead and buried, our bones will keep hurting.β

Update: The Trump administration just officially made good on its goal to privatize the inspection of the kill line in pork slaughterhouses. The pork industry is now responsible for inspecting itself. https://t.co/Zr6eSxGkqc
A new Trump regulation announced today will increase permissible slaughter-line speeds in hog processing plants. That will put workers in this dangerous job at even greater risk of injury or death. https://t.co/PU1haTryvl #SlowDownTheLine
"It's not a clean industry...you could clean up the system...if you slowed it down" The Guardian's @lawrencefelic on US chicken. Learn more about @hrw's research on the dangers facing workers in the industry at https://t.co/V9IFv1s8VI #SlowDownTheLine https://t.co/5octf2sVC3
Hog plants should not be self inspected. This is cruel to the animals, the workers, and dangerous for consumers. #slowdowntheline

@Newsweek op-ed from my @hrw colleagues @sarah_saadoun and @C_Ajder breaking down how deregulating industries in the US and Georgia has harmed workers and communities. Also shouts out my report on the dangers facing meatpacking workers #SlowDownTheLine https://t.co/yGSiECoBpz
8 workers in the meat industry died on average each year from 2013-2017 due to an incident at their plant. Yet @USDAFoodSafety now wants to let plants increase line speeds, further threatening worker safety. Send them a message to #SlowDownTheLine here: https://t.co/koBBYqHuO9
