Yeah thats right, we hired a bunch of orange pickers and called them pigboys and they herded the pigs to Mexico.  Sorry you missed the job opportunity but since you are from Fl maybe you could bait my hook?  I hear you are quite the Master at it.

March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been ground up and mixed with pork from the farm. This pork was never distributed commercially, but was handed out to friends and visitors of the farm. Another claim made is that he fed the bodies directly to his pigs.[10]

Robert William "Willie" Pickton (born October 24, 1949)[2] of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia is a Canadian pig farmer[3] and serial killer convicted of the second-degree murders of six women.[4][5] He is also charged in the deaths of an additional twenty women,[6] many of them prostitutes and drug users from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. As of December 11, 2007 he has been sentenced to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 25 years – the longest sentence available under Canadian law for murder.[7]

During the trial's first day, January 22, 2007, the Crown stated he confessed to forty-nine murders to an undercover police officer posing as a cellmate. The Crown reported that Pickton told the officer that he wanted to kill another woman to make it an even 50, and that he was caught because he was "sloppy".[8]

"Turns out the Company moved itself to Mexico to avoid paying their American employees a fair wage and  to avoid higher health standards and treatment of the animals. "

That must have been one massive 'pig drive'.  Reminiscent of the wild west days and cattle drives handled by the cowboys of the day.  So, are the drivers of the herds knows as pigboys?

An employer refuses to promote a particular employee because of the perception that the employee has an alcohol dependency. As a result of this perception and consequent action on the part of the employer, the individual's right to equal treatment under the Code may have been infringed.



a.An individual who has had a drug or alcohol dependency in the past, but who no longer suffers from an ongoing disability, is still protected by the Code.

That was from Dec 4, 1999. Just imagine how much worse it is now!
From the article:

"....Given the prevailing mood in Congress--which seems to be allergic to anything that expands the size and power of government--creating a new agency might be tough. But the Institute of Medicine has powerful logic on its side. Air travel in the U.S. is extraordinarily safe, thanks largely to the National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA...."

And here's a more recent study and indeed it does look worse.

"The HealthGrades study finds nearly double the number of deaths from medical errors found by the 1999 IOM report "To Err is Human," with an associated cost of more than $6 billion per year. Whereas the IOM study extrapolated national findings based on data from three states, and the Zhan and Miller study looked at 7.5 million patient records from 28 states over one year, HealthGrades looked at three years of Medicare data in all 50 states and D.C. This Medicare population represented approximately 45 percent of all hospital admissions (excluding obstetric patients) in the U.S. from 2000 to 2002.

"The HealthGrades study shows that the IOM report may have underestimated the number of deaths due to medical errors, and, moreover, that there is little evidence that patient safety has improved in the last five years," said Dr. Samantha Collier, HealthGrades' vice president of medical affairs. "The equivalent of 390 jumbo jets full of people are dying each year due to likely preventable, in-hospital medical errors, making this one of the leading killers in the U.S."
