The plant owners goal is to make as much money as he could, doesn’t matter how he did it. he didn’t care if people got hurt he just wanted to earn money. he rose up like ranks and grade as if he was in the army.

3) What does Sinclair mean when he says, "...there was no place in it where a man counted for anything against a dollar....?"

This quote is talking about how the owners just wanted the money and wanted to get the job done no matter what it takes to get it. works are not getting what they want but the owners just want there money they don’t care about the workers.

The meat packing factories have changed a lot from the 1900’s to the 2000’s because workers are organized work space, safer working conditions, better pay and also to have the states help if needed. Now the spaces they work need to be cleaned every day and the people need to be using safe equipment and the make the food be able to sell to the people buying. To posted signs were need if it is a dangerous place or a place not to go in unless they have the right equipments to go in.
