I am writing to ask that Tyson do each of the following:
Provide paid leave during quarantine for all workers who test positive for COVID-19 and to those workers who were in close contact with the infected individual.
Provide personal protective equipment to all workers including new respirators on the production floor at the beginning of every shift, with appropriate fit testing and training on proper donning and doffing procedures, in languages workers understand.
Enforce physical distancing between workers + slow down line speeds for all species, regardless of whether a waiver has been granted to operate at higher slaughter speeds.
Ensure daily testing is available for workers and their communities.
Be transparent and publicly disclose all COVID-19 cases.
Stop all lobbying efforts pressuring USDA to grant line speed waivers in all species + halt all applications to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for higher speed slaughter waivers.
Respect workers' rights to freedom of association, to organize a union, and to bargain collectively, free from retaliation, as recognized by the UN through its International Labor Organization (ILO) Conventions.
Implement systems and policies to both protect workers from retaliation and encourage workplace safety and risk reporting, in order to ensure that all workers report any workplace safety lapses or symptoms of illness. This would include education for all employees and reporting mechanisms for workers' safety and health concerns.
Eliminate the point system that results in unfairly firing workers who miss a certain number of shifts, including those who are legitimately afraid to go back to work because of unsafe working conditions due to COVID-19.
Thank you.Anonymous
