At least Tyson Waterloo plant employees did.
The story is a tragic one and filled with lawsuits that come cambodia whatsapp number after more than a thousand employees were infected and six have died.
In early April 2020, the Black Hawk County emergency operation center started receiving complaints about the working conditions in the plant. There were reports of a lack of safety measures and protective gear, and of the employees testing positive for COVID.
The Black Hawk County Sheriff and health officials visited the plant and were shocked by what they saw. As New York Times reported back then:
“Workers, many of them immigrants, were crowded elbow to elbow as they broke down hog carcasses zipping by on a conveyor belt. The few who had face coverings wore a motley assortment of bandannas, painters’ masks or even sleep masks stretched around their mouths. Some had masks hanging around their necks.”
After seeing the conditions employees had to work in, the Sheriff and the local politicians lobbied Tyson and Governor to shut down the plant – but they refused.
