Current work conditions of the meatpacking industry

Reference no: EM132544920

Excerpt from Upton Sinclair''s "The Jungle"

When writing The Jungle, Sinclair was attempting to bring the nation''s attention to the work conditions meatpacking laborers endured on a daily basis. As he stated though, "I aimed at the public''s heart and by accident hit its stomach," his work was far more successful in promoting federal legislation that targeted cleaning up (quite literally) the U.S. meatpacking industry.

With Sinclair''s original intentions in mind, as well as the current work conditions of the meatpacking industry today, do you consider his work a success, why or why not?
