Been following the JBS Swift saga in Greeley. The meat plant is the largest employer in Weld County. The plant has had several employees test positive and they're not telling anyone. Then, 800 employees walked out which the company is denying (saying its typical absenteeism)
The plant is shoulder to shoulder working conditions and the company is claiming it can't find enough masks to cover anyone (passed out hankies). An employee with a confirmed case has a family trying to reach out to the company to let them know and they won't respond to them.
JBS Swift is having the same controversy at it's plant in Grand Island, Nebraska where it refuses to confirm or deny that over a dozen employees have tested positive for COVID. The contacts these employees had haven't been notified in either plant.
Yesterday, it was revealed that JBS's promises of paid sick time for those confirmed is not reaching employees. ( https://www.greeleytribune.com/news/local/jbs-employee-with-covid-19-not-getting-paid-for-time-in-hospital-despite-company-promises/)
Even the HR exec quoted had a tough time explaining the convoluted dumb process the company has (and isn't following through on)

JBS USA is the world's largest beef and pork processor btw. It employs over 4,000 people in Weld County and is likely covering up an outbreak to save profit. No big deal though you probably just eat their meat.
Over 30 JBS employees tested positive for COVID and the Weld health department is extremely concerned with working conditions at the plant https://www.greeleytribune.com/news/weld-health-over-30-jbs-employees-have-tested-positive-for-covid-19-investigation-continues/
