Danger on the farm: What's putting workers at such high risk?

from Unconfined · host Center for a Livable Future

The Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks agriculture as the third most dangerous industry to work in, after construction and transportation. In this episode of Unconfined, North Carolina-based journalist Christina Cooke paints a picture of how workers get injured, maimed, or die while working in facilities with large animals. Despite being trampled and gored, dying of asphyxiation in grain bins, or drowning in manure pits, these workers remain mostly invisible—and grossly under-protected by the agency that's supposed to look out for their safety. Christina helps us understand what's behind this deadly negligence.
