The story of a young man and his journey to becoming a beef boner,
the most highly skilled trade in the beef industry, chronicles the
last years of an era before independant packers were eliminated all
across America by big business tactics. Now a ghost town, Detroit's
packinghouse district was a dynamic colorful community crushed out
of existence by large corporations destroying hard won careers and
negatively affecting us all. Today's profit before quality and
dollars before fairness mentality has increased the cost of the
beef we eat as much as it has reduced the quality, in the most
insidious ways. Filled with funny and dramatic stories of a salty
old working man and well seasoned with fascinating characters, BEEF
U brings to life the packinghouse district where it was an
adventure to work. Broader than just the beef industry, it serves
as an example of what has happened in virtually all business and
industry taking the joy out of our jobs and lowering our standard
of living. BEEF U is the first true insider's look into the beef
business and a reminder of how good life was for the American
worker back before corporations acheived "wage slavery"
