'The place needs to be closed down.' Waterloo, Iowa, Mayor Quentin Hart is calling for workers to be protected amid cases of Covid-19 at a Tyson Foods plant.
The plant is one of the city's largest employers, with some 3,000 workers, many of them immigrants and people of color who don't have the best access to health care. It's also a key part of the food supply chain, and disruptions there could impact the flow of goods from producers to consumers, which would have consequences that reach outside of Iowa's borders.
"I think it's important that we ensure that those that are doing so much, providing food for us, helping Iowa's agricultural basin, to make sure that we give them all the support and make sure that every condition that they're working in is the same condition that we would want to work in ourself, from mayor all the way down to those that are working in our plants," he added.
