Bethany Wood / Kansas News Service Two weeks after Kansas said it wouldn’t earmark vaccines for meatpacking workers, the state on Thursday promised shots to thousands of people in those slaughterhouse jobs starting this week. More than 10,000 people work in the plants, which include massive facilities in Dodge City, Garden City and Liberal vital to the economy of southwest Kansas. By the end of next week, the state expects to get first doses to all the workers who want them. “This is crucial and the right path to protect the workers and communities where these plants are located,” said Martin Rosas, president of United Food and Commercial Workers International Union Local 2 that represents thousands of Kansas meatpackers. “This is one step forward to go back to normal.”
