When it's a "gun free zone" they use knives.

The most dangerous place for injury in a chicken kill plant is not the ice room but the cut up line. It happens more often than reported.

Will workman’s comp will cover this?

12:00 is correct. The Debone crew uses razor sharp knives which are constantly being sharpened to cut the chicken. Each worker makes a single cut as the bird goes down the line. Those knives are like like razors.

Wow, haven't heard of a knife'n since I was on JPD back in 70's, working
2-Alpha-11.......

If someone pulled a knife on me at Sanderson Farms I would call fowl.

@12:45: Workers' Compensation does not cover intentional acts by a fellow employee.

It's not fun and games when you're facing a man with a knife.

At 6'-3", Gibson has a lot of reach. The other fellow may have thus been disadvantaged in a stabbing/slashing.

Ag Assault with a knife in a slaughterhouse. He should lawyer-up big time.
This could be one for the books.

2:20 - Unless they are concealed as industrial accidents.

There are some wild things that happen in chicken plants that most will never hear about.

If the public knew about such antics, they would think twice before buying that bag of extra crispy chicken strips from their local grocer.

I can say that as a retired government investigator, often involved with that industry.

While I never dealt with an employee stabbing, we had more serious
cases. For example:

(chicken feet on the white meat conveyer belt ... to prank an employee that practiced Voodoo).

Such were our normal cases.

It was impossible to keep a "straight face" when interviewing
some chicken plant employees that were honestly very upset about Voodoo & chicken feet.

It’s a right bright night for a knife fight

Sanderson in Flowood does not handle processing of live chickens

A knife fight at a chicken killin'...sounds like a Tarantino movie. "Say 'cluck' again. Say 'cluck' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say 'cluck' one more Goddamn time!" Well, I guess it beats a gunfight at a goat ropin'. Speaking of which, what's the latest on Freakfest?

Never bring a chicken to a knife fight.

What was 2-Alpha-11, 1:03?

" What was 2-Alpha-11, 1:03" ?

I'm not 1:03, but I'm thinking it was a normal Jackson Police radio call signal from back in the day.

(Much like 1-Adam-12).

I think a few older readers will remember Adam-12.

Thanks,6:56.

Adam-12 runs now on MeTV in the afternoons. All in all, a great show,and
so evocative of the era.

2:20 - go read what the 5th Circuit said about the shooting by Doug Williams at Lockheed Martin in Meridian. WC is all the heirs received. Lockheed knew he was a racist and refuse to fire him. A jury would have returned over $20 million. The 5/C said not so fast.

Don't trust the workers' comp advice you receive here. Requires a fact-intensive review to determine compensability.

Nope, 11:13 - Comp is what's known as 'the sole remedy' for workplace injury in this state, unless the employer was clearly negligent in providing training, proper tools, and policies.

Did the injury occur at the employer's place of bidness? Was the offender an on duty employee? Was the instrument used provided by the employer? Is the employer covered by WC and is the injured party an employee?

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep...Comp.

Get a good lawyer anyway.
