Sarel Singh, 34, was killed instantly when he was sucked into a machine and decapitated
Mr Singh's brother, Harry, said that Sarel had migrated from India four years ago 'in the hope of finding a better life in Australia'.
The National Union of Workers (NUW) said Sarel had just finished a four-hour shift when he was asked to go back and re-clean a packing area.
He was standing on a ladder hosing down a machine when he was swept into it and instantly decapitated.
He claimed that in order to maintain the returns the factory wanted, it had increased the risk to workers by speeding up the machinery so that 20 to 40 birds a minute could be processed.
He said that on the night when Mr Singh was killed the machine was running 'at absolute capacity'.
Instead of packing up to 40 birds a minute, inquiries had found that the machine was working at top speed and processing 183 birds a minute.
Aren't there enough abo's in Australia that could do this work? Why import Indians?
