Ten workers were found in conditions analogous to slavery by labor inspectors at a JBS service provider in the town of Arvorezinha, in Rio Grande do Sul, according to the Labor Prosecutor’s Office (Ministério Público do Trabalho – MPT). The rescued workers were engaged in chicken picking—placing chickens into boxes and loading them onto trucks. According to the MPT, they were housed in precarious lodgings and had limited access to food.
