The current virus swept the country meat packing plants like prisons and Nursing Homes emerged as steadily hotspots. Rayna her husband and his sister to this poetry plant del away. With covert 190 my friend pierre mad mad mad mad a thing own basis but at the end we did and how do you think the youve got sane and ordered. Nothing. More real. Pedal or not have been was the.

In the spring of 2028 through areas across the u. S. Became supplies hotspots for comfort 19. Even though they were not densely populated state had one thing in common. They were fun to notch meat packing plants our food system is industrialized is serious factories if you could conjure a perfect and keep the air for a virus like of at 19 i mean packing plant as a great example the way that the lines are designed and that the rate of the orders coming in people are literally like this shoulder shoulder elbow to elbow how can you implement social distancing in a poultry plant like that. Plants are often very code to keep the meat from spoiling possibly allowing the virus to survive longer this is 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 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.

Yesterday and every day thank you again for your did delegation to do so is very plain. I we did over and over. And i said why. You feel if you can say thank you to somebody who was hard workers you should send them home when it is those of. Misc as well as working at the silsby plant in early april when he told that he had a fever. She wanted says poti fams check his temperature knew he had a fever and allowed him to keep working for several days and a full day and i say you know im going and when i say were not going because there we asked abby like he is not dissemble. I said im going quoted that big and he said no called ambien it will be a bad day to call me doesnt get better he doesnt get better 2 in the morning they call me said he is getting worse or so day have to put him in. Put a 2 by his name so he can go to his lungs in this and that can seen him the war. Was 44 when he died leaving behind 3 teenage children. June a sense most of the workers at the plant and the family members are afraid to speak out about kind of a 19 even my being who didnt want to lose a job. Because if this tell you or you to be in a t. V. Talk about it you go into the job how to go pay the bills but me i had only because i knew. Somebody is is all is was everything for me. Juma says pudgy fams didnt contact her until she started speaking out about what happened it was 2 weeks after that. Then to tell me to go send me a call. When i was sick the cause was. 100 cats inside because. I was so mad i even get caught into my need to get argued them back to do this and you show we do that for everybody youll know somebody yes and no thank you so much i dont need. 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 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 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 are 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 mice 9 out of 10 meat packing plant workers who contract because with 19 more minorities 70 percent of front line meat packing workers are either. 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. The what. If youre not a strong minded person the chicken play is not for you its 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. Has spent 6 years working in the poultry business he was working at the tyson plant on virginias Eastern Shore when covered 19 arrived the 1st reaction from the plant to keep the work a safe the 1st reaction was shock hush hush there was one case that was reported with the management and they swept it under the rug in it took for team members to start speaking amongst ourselves because they really didnt want anybody to know what was going over. You know. Was the poaching instinct back challenge of keeping up. The training and keeping the pole chain coming to the rights 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 the feeling 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 from the tyson plant. They asked us to conceal their identity because theyre afraid of retaliation when no one picks one of them quote we havent really. Been put up or down market every 100. More we have been pissed off but i sort of sort of appear part of the absolute time to be them. Well mark im going to be at home with the poor we have a care where no grow wall plug because i have a i have already. In late may tyson released the results of testing at that plant on virginias Eastern Shore 20 percent of the work has tested positive for the covert 19 and close lost power africa poverty around the same time youre going to run must be your. Form of the Earth Program r. S. S. Going to spur some of moles on hamas coming apart from your sick every species probably harder or shorter reality us. Versus a pariah just because your sick of simple where i need it at all or your own growth or risk averse on the horns or the musketeer are 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 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. 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 ad said the cover of 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 for any liability problems where they have certain ability problems that will be a very good shape were working with patients which is why. Of the Big Companies in that world just days after that atapi it says President Trump 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 that 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 celeste that 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 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 both the north portico and. Focus on my female if im a female my period. But of our whole. Family we have a very remote from a few before it could not be a model but it still is 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 the evolution of jupiters are taken with this one through to put your Screen Companies have resisted cool including recommendations by the c. D. C. To slim down the line speed and space work because further response in other areas there and workstation dividers team members are working closely together basic math if theres fewer workers on the line and one line has to go more slowly fewer chickens are going to process if its an instance where the worker is 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 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 and so we could sign outside today i took 2 for wanted an application form. Back in. Grade and you know actually controlled quantities good like you said you took me cattle picked it for me how can i stop the packing next to somebody else that annoying some lines might be a few feet 3 feet cant tell you thats going to be 6 we didnt try the plant if its 3 feet is that still safe in the safe because were going to have a. Face mask and were going to have a bunker hat with a facial idea of theyre going to if you speak at all of this things not going to get here directly to your face last year in that yeah it can be hard to know that there is a lot in between life also as much as possible this year and i just dont allow for that. Clash and indeed to know that. The recruit to downplay the number of covert 1000. They fired at the plant when asked to where it was that still if you will go to that Meeting Place where we are working what to watch for not. What so not. 2101015 america we are good hunters 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 about it is your is it needs is meat packing dangerous its not im not talking crack going to happen to oranges 1st thing 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 covered 1000. 00 cases at its plants. To an automated voice. Requested interviews with all of the major Cultural Companies as well as their trade associations york. 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 the sacrifices that he made to keep them running. Who can make it has gone beyond. Back to the bills come its all believe theres only. You know this this will be. But god will help me.
