Smith said Pilgrim's Pride began to undertake the changes on April 12, including providing additional protective equipment, temperature checks of employees and COVID-19 screening questions.
Employees also said they often end up wearing plastic aprons that other workers have worn during their shifts — aprons they sweat in because of the heavy physical exertion required to cut animal carcasses apart along an assembly line. Pablo Tapia of Asamblea de Derechos Civiles holds a sign to protest unsafe working conditions at the main entrance of the Pilgrim's Pride plant in Cold Spring, Minn., on May 11, 2020.The workers also said that the company appeared to have undertaken a campaign to convince employees that they did not get sick at the plant and that it offered extra money for people to come back as quickly as possible.
"Essential workers are not disposable workers," he said."They're not people who risk their lives so we can eat steak. They have as much to live for as anyone else, and they do a tough job in the best of times. The president needs to keep their best interests in mind."
Is it a coincidence that once we get restrictions released that suddenly all the meat packing place all of a sudden start to get sick. While in restriction no one got sick. Something is super fishy going on .
Maybe bring in people from Wisconsin? They were all cool with ditching social distancing and mask protocols to hang out at Nates Bar so I imagine they’d jump at the chance to be real patriots and help their fellow Americans get all the meat they need!
This is genocide.

Expect more cases of strange coronavirus syndrome in kids, doctors warnDoctors say parents, hospitals and clinics should expect to see more cases of a mystifying condition, called multisystem inflammatory syndrome, that seems to be affecting children after a bout with Covid-19. Wtf?! What's worse is that when these dumbass protesters kids start getting sick with this because they have stupid parents, China or Obama or Fauci will be the ones blamed instead of parents looking in the mirror for the one to blame. Is this wretched virus mutating already? This IS fear mongering. The number of children made seriously ill by Covid-19 is statistically tiny. And the number of those children showing this symptom are what...one in ten million?
