Tyson Says the Court is the âWrong Forumâ for COVID-19 Death and Workplace Injury Claims
December 9, 2020
Tyson Foods told the Northern District of Iowa on Tuesday that it should not allow the plaintiffs to amend their complaint another time in a lawsuit alleging workplace injuries regarding the deaths of its employees from the COVID-19 virus because of Tysonâs policies.Â
The companyâs response to the plaintiffsâ second motion to amend the complaint said the âPlaintiffs have repeatedly sought leave to amend their pleadingsâdismissing existing defendants, adding new defendants, and now seeking to re-add a previously-dismissed defendant, along with other changesâ in an apparent attempt to avoid the application of the IWCA (Iowa Workers Compensation Act) to their claims.âÂ
