Tell the USDA to reconsider its proposal to eliminate line speed limits at pork processing plants
USDA
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently unveiled a proposal that encourages pork processing plants to increase their workers’ production line speed. Many in the industry are worried that quickening the pace in meat packing and processing plants will mean more cases of accidental amputation and injuries that result in serious disability.
Add your name now to urge the USDA to reconsider its proposal and keep workers and consumers safe.

Pork jobs are already difficult and dangerous for workers, and they may become even more so at faster line speeds. Eliminating line speed limits makes it harder for federal meat inspectors and quality control workers in plants to do their jobs. Please reconsider these proposed rule changes and keep safe line speed limits in pork plants.
