UK Abattoirs which kill for the supermarkets in this country will cut there kill down by 50% and unpack imported new zealand lamb for the rest of the day!

Thats not the first time i have heard this.
I can't vouch for the labelling but we used to kill around 1000 lambs then after lunch we would unload at least 2 imported containers full of new zealand lamb which would then be carted off into the packing room. it put use out of pocket because the more we killed the more bonus we got paid but we ended up working longer hours for basic pay! but i saw the light and left!
most shocking of all was watching a bunch of agency workers unpacking meat that had been packed and labelled wrong!
So I.E. they cut and packed lambs on a monday sent it out to the distrubution centre (arrived on tuesday) which then sent it out to the major super markets (arrived on weds) for then have to be returned to centre (thursday) and then returned back to the abattoir (friday) due to wrong labels etc! what did the abattoir do?? take it out of the packet and repackage and label it up to be sent back for retail in the supermarkets on the monday?? this turn around must of taken at least 7 days extra !!
