2 deaths from a machine starting up during maintenance? Plant needed to be shut down after the first one.

Who the hell doesn't have lock out procedures for deadly machinery?

Lockout takes almost a whole minute of production time! That's a waste, we need that time to churn out more pink slime for McDonald's

Chicken does not come in pink slime variety. It is an urban legend that was debunked years ago.

Make homemade chicken nuggets. You’ll learn quickly that pink slime is real, before it’s cooked.

Still delicious tho

I thought pink slime is just pulverized, raw chicken breast that is then squeezed into shapes. It's pink because it's raw, obviously once it's cooked it's just white meat.

That's like saying hotdogs are an urban legend.

This is the South. OSHA is communism.

You would be shocked. People at my plant are bitching non-stop because the new owners eant to implement lock out

Supervisors who don't want to get fired for not meeting unreasonable quotas.
