When Workplace Mistreatment Disappears On Paper

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / When Workplace Mistreatment Disappears On Paper
Published: August 16, 2026 by VPR Producer

A workplace can post strong safety numbers while behind the scenes employees deal with unstable hours, stressful conditions, hidden injuries and pressure not to speak up. We examine how corporate efficiency can shift risk onto workers and why the official record often captures only part of what the job costs on a human level.


Guest Information:

  • Jessica Martinez, executive director, National Council for Occupational Safety and Health
  • Benjamin Lorr, writer, author, The Secret Life of Groceries

There’s a big difference between a safe and supportive workplace on paper versus in reality. Jessica Martinez is the executive director of the National Council For Occupational Safety And Health, better known as National COSH.

Benjamin Lorr is a writer and the author of the secret life of groceries. While researching the book, he spoke with workers in many segments of the food supply chain. He also took a job at a local grocery store.
