From the Paper:
"This study will analyze Upton Sinclair's expose of the horrors of the meatpacking industry in Chicago in the first years of the twentieth century. Specifically, the study will focus on the impact of the labor unions and Progressive reform on the immigrant workers in Chicago's packinghouses, considering the political climate, social relations and labor conditions from the perspective of immigrants and their employers. The argument of the study will be that, in the context of the novel, labor unions and Progressive reform had little or no impact on improving the working conditions or general lot in life of any immigrant. Of course, it is vital that we keep in mind that Sinclair was arguing that capitalism---with or without unions or reform---would always be a hell for workers, and particularly for immigrant workers who were even lower on the socioeconomic ladder ..."More papers on Upton Sinclair, "The Jungle":
