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 gave bonuses to work because based on attendants raising concerns that sick employees enticed to work as it was and if youre a port and youre not sick it wasnt oh if you get sick and you take time off thats ok its if you are a 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.

Says it did not allow me scared to come to work with a fever and the content she would 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. You know may have come to the United States looking for safety we me scabby down 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 them to figure us restore 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 optional 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 or dealing with animal blood people get stabbed by their neighbor by themselves theyve lost faders hay in arms so its not uncommon to hear that workers are wearing Adult Diapers as theyre working and deaf and caving on themselves and urinating on themselves because they would be punished if they request of it 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 work has imposed the 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 frontline me 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 was the 1st reaction from the plant to keep the work a safe the 1st reaction was. Hush hush there was one case that was a report with a 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 house. Was the instant on back challenge of keeping. The train and keeping the pulse 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 things thought is that they needed better access to people they needed better 6 times. Thing in its be able to care for relatives and children and those needs were not met. We spoke with one current and one former worker from the tyson plants where kesha worked they asked us to conceal their identity because theyre afraid of retaliation when no one picks them quote we have a thriving happy. Not to list them i let them put up or down you know broken proamerican every night or carry more of us if you see im pissed off but our staffs are all part of our fearful part of the episode where i am to be the almost im going to be at home with the poor who have brought big hair and norco wall blood because i have a have already. 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 inclose last africa by reroute the cmdr near the 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 p. C. Probably hard or short of reality or. Pretty or perez a super our mother spit us your sick of simple corey writing at all your Grocery Store persona horrors. I must be you know there are some of these insecure home. 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 theyve 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. Late april following the shutdown a several plants due to workers getting sick tyson foods took out a boat if it is meant to mate. The newspaper says the ad said the covered 19 could break 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 of any liability problems where they have certain level of the problems and will be a very good shape were working with patients which is one of the Big Companies in that world just days after that atapi it was a trauma hes 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 that if youre going to the Grocery Store and not seen the products that we want it was so powerful that there was an opportunity here to solicit federal assistance based on that concern more pressing concern at the time more dire certainly was you know workers already dying from cover 19 and that was background 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 could have if you will still northward get thrown in we couldnt focus on my female if im a female my period. But of our whole. Family we have a very remote from a few in the movie remarkable. So it was a genius in a visit. To the pandemic began tyson foods released this promotional video to show how the companys protecting book is before the start of every shift jupiters are taken with this read through to put your companies have resisted cool including recommendations by the c. D. C. To slim down the line speak and space workers for the restaurants in other areas there and work station dividers team members are working closely together basic math if theres fewer workers on the line and one line has to go for slightly fewer chickens are going to process if its an instance where the workers mean then and certainly what weve all been taught about the best Public Health response physical distance thing is directly at odds with the profit margin of these companies. 4 lines has obtained footage from inside tyson plants in arkansas 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 wired buildings with you know massive walkways these are narrow hallways and we know from covert that 6 feet of distance is essential to protecting against the spread. These are people being treated as colleagues in a machine expendable rather than actually being cared for. An additional problem a poetry ponce up bottlenecks at the front gate we watch workers coming 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 and so we could sign outside who would i took to fill wanted an Application Form and get back in. Grading you know making sure the quality is good the night he said to me cattle because to me how can i stop the packing next to somebody else bit annoyed some lines might be a few feet 3 feet cant tell you thats going to be 6 we did it were at the plant if its 3 feet is that still safe in the safe because youre going to have a. Face mask and you can have a bucket hat with a facial idea of their event if you speak at all this things not going to get here directly to your face last year and did that yeah it can be hard. Theres a lot even in between lives also as much as possible this year and i just dont allow for that. Clash and indeed to know that. The recruited downplayed the number of covert 1000. They fired at the plant were still at it was it still if you go to that Meeting Place where we are working what to watch for not. What so not. 2101015 america we are going hundreds of reporters 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 to think a few weeks ok think of this or is it needs that is meatpacking dangerous and not nothing for its going to happen towards us 1st this is just that i can. Just come out of the Recruitment Office for one of the big costs 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 number of coded 1000 cases at its plants. To an automated voice. Dines requested interviews with all of the major Cultural Companies as well as their trade associations your college. Might. 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 who they really want dont want consumers to know who is is working behind the scenes making the sacrifices to make sure that we have chicken on our table. 1000 has shed a harsh light on the working conditions inside poultry plant. And the sacrifices that he made to keep them running. Who can make it has gone beyond. That to the bills come its only late really. You know its this lonely. But god we hope. God will help us.
