US poultry workers ‘forced to wear diapers’

Workers in plants run by the largest US poultry producers are regularly being denied bathroom breaks and as a result some are reduced to wearing diapers while working on the processing line, Oxfam America has reported.

“It’s not just their dignity that suffers: They are in danger of serious health problems,” said Oxfam America, the US arm of the UK-based global development group.

The group works for a “just world without poverty” and focuses on topics ranging from refugees in Greece to malnutrition.
