IOWA CITY, Iowa â Tyson Foods has fired seven top managers at its largest pork plant after an independent investigation into allegations that they bet on how many workers would test positive for the coronavirus, the company said.
The company said last week that the investigation led by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder revealed troubling behavior that resulted in the firings at the plant in Waterloo, Iowa. An outbreak centered around the plant infected more than 1,000 employees, at least six of whom died. We value our people and expect everyone on the team, especially our leaders, to operate with integrity and care in everything we do, Tyson Foods President and CEO Dean Banks said in a statement. The behavior exhibited by these individuals does not represent the Tyson core values, which is why we took immediate and appropriate action to get to the truth.
