Paula Deen, of Food Network fame, has recently been caught in the middle of a Union battle between Smithfield Ham and their employees, who argue that the company has repeatedly suppressed workers' attempts to unionize, and who insist that they aren't offered suitably safe working conditions. In the meat processing business, this can get pretty ugly.
I'm sort of shocked by how strongly worker's rights groups and celebrities have come out to criticize Smithfield for their practices, but it's the company's corporate spokesperson, Ms. Deen, who had been fighting the battle at the front lines. Check out the vast repository of content on YouTube related to the controversy.
Who new that our favorite butter-soaked southern belle had some skeletons in her closer? And fingers in her sausages?
