We just filed a case alongside UFCW 1776 KS and Willig, Williams & Davidson challenging PA's law that excludes ag workers from basic labor protections. This is discriminatory and violates PA's constitution. Exceptions like these enable exploitation in the ag industry. More ➡️ buff.ly/mXidznT

Faster line speeds put slaughterhouse workers at even higher risk of life-altering injuries. But the Trump Administration is twisting the facts to justify a new rule that will boost corporate profits at the expense of worker safety.
