The fast food companies rely on the workers to produce the food companies so that consumers will acquire these foods. McDonalds hire workers that will work long hours and for low wages these are marginalized workers. Marginalize workers are also working in slaughterhouses. Marginalized workers consist of illegal immigrants, handicap, and elderly people, these are people that will work for low wages. Companies doesnt really care about the workers they aee only worried about the products made, and the profit they are getting from it. Slaughterhouses also allow there workers to get injured on their job, and will not pay them workers comp; they would not report the injuries that occur.
Kenny Dobbins was an employee at the Monfort Slaughterhouse. One day at work he got injured, he never filed for workers' comp when he stayed home for a few days. The company doctor just bandage him up and said he had pulled a muscle, but when he got a second doctors opinion they said he need surgery. Kemmy got hurt on the job and the company did not make no effort to see the real injuries that occured. Companies have power over the employees, they want their revenue, and only interest in themselves.

Great post. I have a couple thoughts: 1) read all your work out loud, and revise anything that stands out to you. 2) In your second paragraph, the transition feels abrupt. How about a sentence that explains to your reader what they're about to read -- what is the Kenny example about? How about sentence that says, "An example of _____ is _______." etc.
