The union representing workers at chicken processing plants in six states sue the U.S. Department of Agriculture, saying its policy of allowing companies to slaughter birds more quickly endangers workers and makes it harder to protect against coronavirus.
FILE - In this Jan. 29, 2006, file photo, a car passes in front of a sign at Tyson headquarters in Springdale, Ark. The union representing workers at poultry processing plants sued the federal government on Tuesday, July, 28, 2020, to challenge a new rule that allows companies to increase line speeds through a waiver permitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union and local unions representing 10 plants in Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi and Missouri joined with nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen to file the lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C. “America’s poultry workers have been on the front lines of this pandemic since day one, putting themselves in harm’s way to make sure our families have the food we need during this crisis,” said UFCW International President Marc Perrone.
Representatives of meat processing companies Tyson and Wayne Farms, which are mentioned in the lawsuit, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
