According to @leahjdouglas's daily tally: 52,018 meatpacking and food processing workers have contracted #COVID19 and 237 of those workers have died. Their "hero pay" has expired, and even at-risk workers are being called back to work—or will face firing.https://thefern.org/2020/04/mapping-covid-19-in-meat-and-food-processing-plants/ …
At a hearing before the Nebraska Legislature last month, workers at major packing plants reported that they receive one surgical mask per day—and it is soaked with blood within the first 2 hours of their shifts. That has not changed.
So it's daily testing and medical monitoring for college football players, inadequate PPE and threats of unemployment for our essential workers safeguarding the food supply. Got it.
I understand the love of football. (My dad played at Hastings alongside Tom Osborne's younger brother, Jack.) But if we can afford daily medical screening for players, we can afford adequate PPE and mandatory social distancing for essential workers.
200 meatpacking workers have died from #Covid. 200 families impacted forever. We still have NO required PPE rules and enforcement for meatpacking workers. I'm happy folks get to watch football. I would prefer if we treat workers with the same value. CC: @UFCW @TonyVargas
The Government doesn't operate meat packing plants. That's for the owners to provide that equipment.
I work at a packing house in Nebraska for a BIG producer. We can get a test anytime we want (on demand). We also can get as many mask per day as needed. Company has spent 500 million on covid precautions and continue to make upgrades as we speak.
Glad to hear it. Where do you work?
