Report: At least 59,000 meat workers caught COVID, 269 died

to take protective steps such as checking employee temperatures, distributing protective equipment and installing barriers between work stations.

Cargill, Tyson, Smithfield and JBS released statements Wednesday saying they worked aggressively to meet federal health and safety standards and took additional measures to protect their employees, such as conducting widespread testing and urging employees to get vaccinated. The report said infection rates were especially high at some meatpacking plants. At a JBS plant in Hyrum, Utah, 54% of the workforce contracted the virus between March 2020 and February 2021. Nearly 50% of workers at a Tyson plant in Amarillo, Texas, were infected in the same time frame. And 44% of employees at National Beef’s plant in Tama, Iowa, caught COVID-19 from April 2020 to February 2021.

Trump administration committed crimes against humanity. Who will prosecute?

Upton Sinclair back at it again

Meat packing companies could better predict COVID is coming but they just neglected a warning many times. Welcome to America 🇺🇸 🤷🏽‍♂️

That's a very underwhelming number.

So approx 0.46 % BFD

Nobody wants to work anymore

Companies got to compensate, right?

ie, workplace safety

All while these meatpacking plants pollute our rivers. EnvAm

Would be important to know how many survivors still suffer from long-Covid symptoms.

296 out of 59,000 is not that big of a deal.

Just lies again!!!
