Drone pilots who carry out targeted assassinations. Undocumented immigrants who man the “kill floors” of industrial slaughterhouses. Guards who patrol the wards of America’s most violent and abusive prisons. In Dirty Work, Eyal Press offers a paradigm-shifting view of the moral landscape of contemporary America through the stories of people who perform society’s most ethically troubling jobs. As Press shows, we are increasingly shielded and distanced from an array of morally questionable activities that other, less privileged people perform in our name.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn unprecedented attention to the issue of “essential workers” and to the health and safety risks to which workers in prisons and slaughterhouses are exposed. But Dirty Work examines another, less familiar set of occupational hazards: psychological and emotional hardships such as stigma, shame, PTSD, and moral injury. These burdens fall disproportionately on low-income workers, undocumented immigrants, women, and people of color.
Illuminating the moving, at times harrowing stories of the people doing society’s dirty work, and incisively examining the structures of power and complicity that shape their lives, Press reveals fundamental truths about the moral dimensions of work, and the hidden costs of inequality in America.

You’re right. It’s all so unfair. Let’s make the illegal immigrant who didn’t finish middle school a CEO and have all of the doctors and lawyers mow lawns and clean dishes. What you and your people fail to realize is that people work according to their value, not their race or gender. There are tons of millionaires of color and there are white men and women who work the slaughterhouses, too. Fight for fifteen? Any fool can push the button that looks like a cheeseburger, hence this is a low paying job, as they are easily replaceable. If you want a better job. If you want better pay. Be worth more.

I’ve never seen a more narrow minded perspective in my life.
How’s mom’s basement treating you?

Learning to use commas correctly might be part of a strong foundation for those big-boy pronouncements about all of economic life (”If you want a better job, if you want better pay, be worth more.”) Nevertheless, Lisiva should still earn a living wage morally compromising contracts. Also, this isn’t what comments are for here.
