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 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 optional for plants to follow starting 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 fayned or 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 f.

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. No or asia 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 there it 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 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. Here how. Was the instinct back challenge of keeping. The training 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 managers they still ideas 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 plants way keesha worked they asked us to conceal their identity because theyre afraid of retaliation when no one picks them quote we have a thrilling almost ready. Not to list them i let them put up or out you know broken program or carry on or carry more b. S. If youre going to piss me off but our servers are all part of our beautiful part of the episode where i am to be the almost at the mouth here the multiple of you have brought big hair. Grow wall plug have a problem have already. In late may tyson released the results of testing at that plant of the genius Eastern Shore 20 percent of the workers tested positive for the covert 19 in close last africa part of you are the same good miracle going to run must be your. Formal real program r. S. S. Going to spur some of moles on our most probably have covered them and youre sick. Probably hot or short of reality us. Versus a pair of our our mothers beat us your sick of simple where are you at all your Grocery Store personal horrors. The musketeer are there are some of these insecure 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 theyve taken this seriously when the 1st case was reportage. They wouldnt have had so much he bought on 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 to to work is getting sank tyson foods took out a boat if it is meant to mange a nice pipe as the ad said the covered 19 q bright 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 present 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 it was you know workers already dying from cover 19 and that was 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 could have been. North one could go and. Focus on meth you know if im a theme in my period. That our whole. Family we have a very remote from a few into what could now be a model. So these are 2 members. Of the pandemic began tyson foods released this promotional video to show how the companys protecting book is before the start of the evolution of g g bridgers are taken with this read through to put your Screen 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 more slowly he works chickens are going to process 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 plant 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 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 of poetry ponce 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 and so we could sign outside who would i took to fill wanted an application form. Back in. Grade and you know actually controlled economies good like you said to me cattle because to me how can i stop packing next to somebody else bit annoying some lines might be a few feet 3 feet back you are tired its 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 theyre going to if you speak at all this things not going to get here directly to your face last year again that. Can be hard. Theres a lot even in the twilight also as much as possible this year and i just dont love for that. Gosh children and to know that. The recruiter downplayed the number of coded 1000. They fired at the plant were still where it was at still if you go to that Meeting Place where we are working what to watch for not. What so not. 2101015 miracle we are good 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 would be 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 poaching 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 the 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 covered 1000. 00 cases at its plants. To an automated voice. For requested interviews with all of the major Cultural Companies as well as their trade associations. With. 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 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 sacrifices that to be made to keep them running. Who can make it has gone beyond. Liking the bells come its all be laid theres only. You know theres this i wont be. But god will help me.
