In chapter 26, Jurgis begins to live a comfortable life which is mostly due to the fact that he is working as a "scab." Jurgis manages the killing rooms, and within his job he starts to evade accountability and he also starts to accept bribes. Jurgis has also become a "strikebreaker," which means that Jurgis tries to break up strikes that take place on the streets of Chicago. Unfortunately, this causes a lot of people to not like Jurgis.
Aside from this, Jurgis' family has moved into another part of Packingtown, but Jurgis is unwilling to go and see them.
One day, when Jurgis is not working he sees that Phil Connor, which causes Jurgis to become very angry.
