Sanitation Worker - Stolen Jobs

In a society where “They’re stealing our jobs”, I set out to document what one of these “stolen” jobs looks like at a factory where 75%-80% of the employees are Hispanic. This job requires employees to work six days a week from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. During this 12-hour sanitation shift, employees are working in cold and wet environments; taking apart, cleaning, and reassembling large pieces of equipment.

Dude looks completely miserable from the beginning. Look at his facial expressions from when he is putting on his PPE.

For a person who knows what sanitation work at a food processing plant really is the video doesn't convey what it is really doing that kind of work, the guy in the video is literally dragging his feet and moving in slow motion. Hispanics are like ants, they work hard and move quick, they might be of a small size but they are really strong and have a lot of energy and usually are in a good mood while they work. The areas of the U.S. Economy where you find a lot of Hispanics, like sanitation or any other kind of work at food processing plants, construction, agricultural jobs, demolition, garbage and waste collection, farm work, cleaning in general, kitchen jobs, etc. require people who have a lot of energy and like to work, not lazy people who look for easy jobs.

I work as a sanitation lead where i command a crew of about 2-8 workers every night. We clean 3 lines of production that being mixers and machines for 3 separate areas. pizza, bread, and cookies. The work scedual is from 9pm-5:30am. I am in charge of making sure my crew is safely cleaning and sanitizing the equipment. I record our temp workers hours. I make sure my team is on time and ready for the shift. Constant slippery floors from the water and soap we use to clean. Lifting 10lbs-75lbs worth of dough and flour with each dump of a waste bucket( which is about 35 of them around each station.) I sweat like a pig, and more sore than kanker...every night. My first language is english but i am surrounded by people who only speak spanish or understand a few words of english, so i in return learned spanish in about 4 months so i could accommodate the workers who didn't understand english. For almost a year and a half I do all this and WAY more for 14$ an hour. Yes i am unhappy and i feel underappreciated.

I wanna give my 2 cents after starting a sanitation job 2 weeks ago with PSSI... I only took the job because I'm laid off from my shipyard job.. sanitation isn't really that hard... but there is very little money to be made!! There was only one other white guy than myself, my co workers are so nice they dont slack off.. they help u out and keep a positive attitude! My boss worked sanitation 6 years only made a dollar more than me... it makes me sad to see ppl who care about work have to work for $17 an hour! That is nothing! America would fail without Hispanics! 100% seriousness I'd give up become a bum and live in the streets before I worked that long for a low paying job!

Sanitation is easy and can pay off if you have it in your heart to do your job & do it well. Most people go to work and work like they do not care about their job. It's just a paycheck for them.
