| Guards who patrol the wards of America’s most violent and abusive prisons. Undocumented immigrants who man the ‘kill floors’ of industrial slaughterhouses. Roustabouts who drill for oil on offshore rigs. And drone operators who kill people from thousands of miles away. These are the essential workers we prefer not to think about. Their often physically violent and dangerous activities sustain modern society, yet they are mainly hidden from our gaze. Theirs is work that takes place disproportionately in deprived areas and is undertaken largely by immigrants and people of colour. And the work comes with a particular set of occupational hazards — stigma, shame and moral injury. On February 10, American journalist Eyal Press comes to Intelligence Squared to reveal the truths about a whole world of work many of us never encounter. Drawing from his new investigative book Dirty Work he will reveal the toll the pandemic has wrought on essential workers and try to change the way we think about ‘low-skilled’ and low-paid jobs. |
