USDA Punishes Whistleblower

[mysticokra]

A meatpacker did the right thing by blowing the whistle on some contaminated meat and the USDA punished him, because their real job is to protect Con-Agra.

In South Dakota the USDA also likes to hire people for temporary positions that lasts months and years before hiring them permanently or letting them go. I complained to Senator Daschle about this practice and my temporary position wasn't renewed even though additional help was/is still needed. Guess they (USDA) didn't like my complaint.

I read somewhere that it is going to be illegal in illinois to video in meat packing plants without permission from owners I guess there have been some disturbing video coming out of there so instead of fixing the problem they lobby the government to make it illegal to turn these corperations in. check this sight out http://www.factoryfarming.com/index.htm

ALL institutions, especially Federal bureaucracies punish whistle blowers. Its part of the definition nature of "institution." Universities, high schools, the medical establishment, book clubs and churches each punish whistleblowers.
