Why aren't people angrier about the factories and food processing plants?

Does no one on MN do this kind of work or know people who do?

Is it OK because it only affects poor low paid workers? We're hearing an awful lot about teachers (I am one btw) and our potential risks and nothing's actually happened in schools yet. Why does no one care about these workers and their families?

There've been so many outbreaks now, why aren't they and their following of guidelines being regulated/inspected more?

Why isn't there just a huge backlash against these employers?

It’s appalling. Here’s the article mentioned above: www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/21/uk-cheap-food-could-fuel-covid-19-spread-says-who-envoy

It seems an omission that it doesn’t include any interviews with people working in food processing (realise that anonymity and possibly translators might have been needed.)

Maybe we can't do anything, especially not with immediate effect but politicians do listen to public opinion, they have to. What they're hearing atm is that people are furious with young people going to the pub but they don't care about this issue.

People would much rather be angry about how Meghan has hurt the poor royal family than something serious like this.
