Meat-packing plants are not the only driver of community coronavirus spread but they are certainly among the worst. A coalition of more than 120 organizations is starting to take action on behalf of workers.
"This week, a group of 122 organizations united in a week of action against Tyson Foods demanding that the meat company address its failure to manage the spread of COVID-19 among workers at its pork, chicken, and beef processing facilities nationwide.
"More than 8,500 Tyson employees at 37 poultry, pork, and beef facilities in seven states have tested positive for COVID-19—an infection count that is more than double that of any other meat company."
