Often very cone to keep the meat from spinning possibly allowing the virus to survive longer its a highly contagious disease and so its very easy for the virus to spread plus the fact that you have a ventilation system in those plants that is supposed to keep the air circulating the fact that now were discovering that that the virus can be spread through droplets that may be in the air the ventilation systems and in these plants probably exacerbated the situation in the early months of the pandemic some Companies Including tyson foods bonuses to work because based on attendance raising concerns that sick employees enticed to work and it wasnt if you report and youre not sick it wasnt oh if you get sick and you take time off thats ok its if you are porch every day the companies are using every tool in their tool box to make it so that they dont interrupt their processing specs but they do keep the workers exposed.

It did not allow me scared to come to work with a fever and the content she want to receive wasnt officially from the company because im here. To take money we came here because we will we dont have anything in on in our country is not that is not we came here for safety. May have come to the United States looking for safety we me skeptic and working at the post plant it was stepping into a dangerous industry i think the average consumer thinks about a small farm moving it product or an animal to a small processing facility that bench brings it to the Grocery Store and thats what they buy the reality is that these are factories meatpacking workers have among the highest rates of injury and illness in the country according to the u. S. Bureau of labor statistics the federal government has oversight during the pandemic it has issued guidance that is meeting for plants to follow starting on the production for these workers are working on a wind that moves incredibly fast its very dirty youre dealing with with animal parts for dealing with animal blood people get stabbed by their neighbor by themselves theyve lost faders hay in the car so its not uncommon to hear that workers are wearing Adult Diapers as theyre working and deford caving on themselves and urinating on themselves because they would be punished if they request if you take a restroom break you know over the course of a few the recent years workers were sent to receive care at hospitals as much as every other day the workers in punchy plants up primarily black team. And asian at least a 3rd immigrant many are refugees on documented in the spring of 2020 according to the u. S. Government waste 9 out of 10 meat packing plant workers who contract to cope with 19 more minorities 70 percent of front line meat packing workers are either or latino or asian and you contrast that with a company like tyson were over 70 percent of the salaried employees the managers are white and thats exactly the racial dynamic that you see playing out in the plants. What. If youre not a strong minded person the chicken play is not for you is very intense and its very cutthroat and the management there they care more about pieces of meat going in the tray then they care about their team members in that became very evident this year very everyone. Has spent 6 years working in the poultry business he was working at the tyson plant on virginias Eastern Shore when covered 19 arrived what was the 1st reaction from the plant to keep up a say the 1st reaction was. Hush hush there was one case that was a report with the management and they swept it under the rug and it took 4 team members to start speaking amongst ourselves because they really didnt want anybody to know what was going on. The how. Was the. Back challenge of keeping. The train and keeping the pole chain coming to the heights of american citizens not very prepared i would say on the whole many workers reported in march and april and may they were telling the company is telling the manager thinks that they needed better access to people. They needed better stick time. Thing its be able to care for relatives and children and those needs are not met. We spoke with one current and one former worker from the tyson plant way keesha worked they all sussed to conceal their identity because theyre afraid of retaliation when no one picked them quote we have a thriving. Not to list them i let them put up or down you know broken program or carry on or carry more of us if you see im pissed off processor or part of our spiritual processing where i am to be to almost like to be at home with the poor you know they care and norco wall because i have a lot of. In late may tyson released the results of testing at that plant on virginias Eastern Shore 20 percent of the workers tested positive for the covert 19 and provost africa poverty around the same time youre going to run must be your. Former leader of the program r. S. S. Going to spur some of moles on a mosque or you have covered them and youre sick. Probably hard or shorter reality us. Versus a pair of our our mothers because youre sick of simple query writing at all or your Grocery Store persona or just being. A must be you know there are some of these hints of her former. Teacher didnt think it was safe to return to work in april she was afraid of infecting her mother who has a weak immune system she had a disagreement with tyson if a taking leave and said she was terminated she thinks they were unhappy that she was speaking out about kovac 19 head theyd taken this seriously when the 1st case was reported. They wouldnt have had so much he bought all of them they didnt care about the safety of the workers and the health of the workers they were caring more about getting their orders out. In late april following the shutdown as several plants due to workers getting sick tyson foods took out a boat if it is meant to mange a newspaper as the outset that covered 19 coup brite the Food Supply Chain and the closing plants because millions of pounds of meat to disappear from Grocery Stores the company defended its Safety Practices and called on the federal government to help with a sign an executive order today i believe and that also for any liability problems where they have shared ability problems that will be a very good shape were working with patients which is one of the Big Companies in the world just days after that atapi it says person used the defense production act to keep meat packing plants open as essential businesses it gave these companies cover to keep the the plants open even though. Their workers were still getting sick i think that the Meat Industry understood if youre going to the Grocery Store and not seeing the products that we want it was so powerful that there was an opportunity here to sell us that federal assistance based on that concern more pressing concern of the time more dire certainly was you know workers already dying covered 19 and why its background it to some extent a talking point also emerged among republican officials placing the blame on immigrant workers for spreading the virus as opposed to the working conditions inside the plant and we believe that 99 percent of whats going on today wasnt happening inside the facility it was more at home where these employees were going home and spreading some of the virus. In. North focus on immigrant focus on my female if im a female my period and. That of our whole. Family have a very remote from a few before to marry a model. So those are team members in the c. D. C. To. See months after the pandemic began tyson foods released this promotional video to show how the companys protecting book has before the start of every shift key members jitters are taken with this one through to put your skin companies have resisted calls including recommendations by the cd sales to slim down the line speak and space workers further apart in other areas their own work station dividers were team members are working closely together basic math of 1st fewer workers on line of their own line has slightly fewer chickens arent process if its an instance where a worker is me and then and certainly what weve all been taught about the best Public Health response physical best thing is directly at odds with the profit margin of these companies. 4 lines has obtained footage from inside tyson plants and console that contradicts the companys messaging on social distancing filmed in july of 2020 the video showed workers in close proximity to one another various parts of the plant there crowding in the hallways these are not large buildings with you know massive walkways these are narrow hallways and we know from cove it that 6 feet of distance is essential to protecting against the spread of these are people being treated as colleagues in a machine expendable rather than actually being cared for. An additional problem at poti palms up bottlenecks at the front gate we watch workers coming and going in clusters at several mountain half ounce plants in delaware in july of 2020. Wanted to hear what the company was telling me recruits about social distancing and the risks of covered 19 so we entered their recruitment santa. Fe i saw a recruitment sign outside who would i took to fill wanted an Application Form and. Thank you. Great even when you know it intruded quantities good night he said just let me ask you because to me how christ would be packing next to somebodys house with annoying some lines might be a few feet 3 feet that can tell you thats going to be 6 feet and drop the plan if its 3 feet is that still safe in the safe because youre going to have a. Face mask and you can have a bunker hat with a facial on it after engraved you speak it all over this things not going to get to your god directly to your face last year a good bit of it yeah you can be hard. Theres a lot in between your eyes also as much as possible sir and i just dont allow for that. Clash and then get to know. The recruiter downplayed the number of covert 1000 cases theyve had at the plant was still there it was that still if you go to that Meeting Place where we are working what for what so not. What so not. To do 101015 america we are good hunters or poor use according to the union that represents workers here the company told them in late march the plant had 41 cases of covert 19 so what i would say to you would be to think a few weeks ok think of his reserve needs that is meatpacking dangerous no its not im not talking facts going to happen towards just past this it just sets i. Just came out of the Recruitment Office for one of the big tests a part in this area and they say how safe it is and also how safe it is right now even joining the Global Pandemic and we know thats not the case. In a statement Mountain Farm said it follows all c. D. C. Guidelines and recent inspections from Health Officials ringback resulted in excellent remarks for their safety protocols the company would not comment on the numbers. 1000. 00 cases at its plants youre going to do an automated voice. Question interviews with all of the major Cultural Companies as well as their trade associations your come with being one mike. Nobody was willing to speak with us on camera for our story it had a great difficulty even trying to get the companies themselves to talk to us why is that they really dont want consumers to know who is working behind the scenes making the sacrifices to make sure that we have chicken on our table. On the working conditions inside poultry plots and the sacrifices that have been made to keep them running. Who can make it has gone beyond. The call me. You know this this will be. But god will help me. God will help us. Never call me my name even one time is money. I miss him so much. Night say many workers who got sick with cope with 19 has returned to the plant.
