Smithfield Packing operates the world’s largest porkprocessing facility in Tar Heel, N.C. It employs 6,000 workers
and slaughters 32,000 hogs a day--that’s 2 hogs every
second. But workers do this under conditions that are more
favorable to the hogs than the workers.
Smithfield in Tar Heel:
• Has repeatedly been found guilty of threatening, abusing, and using violence
against workers.
• Fires injured workers and denies them workers’ compensation.
• Stirs racial tensions among workers.
• Exploits immigrant workers.
Some of the products that come out of the Tar Heel plant
are in your grocer’s meat case.

Smithfield Packing opera la procesadora de carne de cerdo más
grande del mundo en su planta de Tar Heel, Carolina del Norte.
Tiene 6,000 empleados y sacrifica 32,000 cerdos
diariamente—es decir, dos cerdos cada segundo. Pero los
trabajadores realizan sus tareas en condiciones que son más
favorables para los cerdos que para los trabajadores.
Smithfield en Tar Heel:
• Ha sido encontrada culpable en repetidas ocasiones de amenazar, abusar
e inclusive usar la violencia en contra de los trabajadores.
• Despide trabajadores incapacitados y les niega la compensación para
trabajadores.
• Promueve tensiones raciales entre los trabajadores.
• Explota a los trabajadores inmigrantes.
Algunos de los productos que provienen de la planta en Tar Heel están en
los mostradores de carnes en tu supermercado.
