Meat Plant Workers Face Increased Risk of Contracting Coronavirus | Eater

"At a poultry processing plant in Georgia, management offered a $500 bonus for employees who worked April through June without missing a day to keep production running, but the incentive has clashed with worker safety concerns. Many employees—often Black, Latinx, and immigrants—earn low wages and face crowded conditions that increase COVID-19 risk; some have chosen not to accept the health risks despite federal praise for essential workers. A plant worker with Crohn’s disease, Shynekia Emanuel, captured the sentiment when she said, “Enough is enough,” adding that “Nobody wants to risk their lives over some chicken.”" - Jenny G. Zhang
