By Margaret Bassett

This is an editorial explaining a 6-part series on the chicken processing industry. Involves low wages, no medical insurance,and inhumane working conditions in NC. I previously posted quicklink about leprosy of Marshallese in NW Arkansas workers. This series brings out the illegal immigrant question.

Authors Bio:
Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.

Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
