Via InquirerUSA Filipino workers in another Canada meat plant cope with Covid-19

To date, Olymel L.P. in Red Deer, another major meat plant in Alberta, does not have a single case of Covid-19. The zero infection is attributed to daily health and safety meetings, as well as busing the workers and equipping the with protections, said the union representing the meat plant workers at Cargill and JBS.

UFCW has filed a labor practice complaint before the Alberta Labour Relations Board, which will be heard this week, naming both Cargill and the Government of Alberta as respondents. UFCW pointed out social distancing is difficult to achieve in these plants as they are designed around social proximity.

Sharing their resources together, however, enabled Miranda to survive the viral infection with the help of his co-workers and housemates. Although he has recovered, Miranda did not disclose that he had been ill from the virus to his family in Compostela Valley in southern Philippines to allay their fears.Improvements are now being seen in both plants, although the positive changes are “too little too late” and the question remains as to why the plants took so long to respond accordingly, said UFCW’s Hughes.
