When the food supply chain starts to rapidly uncouple itself - do you think that’s the time to ask @SecGeneScalia WHY OSHA didn’t enforce the CDC guidelines?
How many more meat packing facilities need to shut down? Before DOL-OSHA are held accountable https://twitter.com/File411/status/1254786954559811593
When the CEO of Tyson’s food says it’s a problem
You do understand that, they can’t contain it anymore beyond shutting meat packing & processing plants down

FTR you do understand the difference between publishing the guidelines (on OSHA’s webpage) versus actual enforcement, right?
Because there’s a huge difference in publishing v enforcement - la sigh

Dear @SecGeneScalia you want to rethink @OSHA_DOL lack of enforcement and ignoring CDC guidelines to protect our Front Line Healthcare Workers?

I see that @SecretarySonny is just caring out his mob-boss’ orders...thuggery is the Trump Admin motto;

‘Listen up, real good, I’m only going to say this once; do what I say and there won’t be any probles”

Not to be outdone by @SecretarySonny follow up letter to Meat Packing plants & owners
MOBs gotta MOB

In which a coalition of State Attorneys General send a letter to @JusticeATR re anti-trust issues within the cattle & meat packing industry

What. Porking. Anti-Trust. Fresh. Hell...is this?

Our Farmers, especially the family farmers are facing a perfect storm of:
financial delinquencies (loans at high interest rates)
3 crushing years of tariffs
Climate Change (flooding & severe weather)
They need relief but it has to be sustainable
Thread👇🏻 https://twitter.com/File411/status/1241496705721303045?s=20
As someone who’s both a personal & professional advocate for farmers, I read that DOJ letter as a pretty big “boon” for major conglomerate farmers and only tangential relief for small family run farms
They don’t want handouts they want/need customers.
Yet here the DOJ gives cover
Dear @SecGeneScalia

So how soon are you going to call your “dear leader” and have the @USDOL OIG fired? I mean it’s Friday

👇🏻ADVISORY REPORT👇🏻
“of June 2, 2020, DOL awarded DWGs to 50 recipients for over $222 million to help address the workforce-related impacts of COVID-19”
I mean you guys where warned in APRIL that @SecGeneScalia knew..

ask yourself why am I tweeting👇🏻
August 2020 COVID-19 @DOLOIG

“increased significantly the number of whistleblower complaints OSHA has received, the Whistleblower Program’s full time employment has decreased“
During the first 4 months of the pandemic

Feb 1, 2020 thru May 31, 2020
-data from OSHA’s Integrated Management Information System showed the Whistleblower Program received 4,101 complaints, which was 949, or 30% more, than during the same period in 2019
Again ask yourself why?
This isn’t a theoretical argument
The facts show @SecGeneScalia leadership
@OSHA_DOL
- 1 in 5 complaints (348) docketed for investigation
- yet 2% of complaints (35) were resolved
👇🏻STUNNINGLY👇🏻
54% dismissed or closed without investigation
Now do you get why I was screaming?
Furthermore these are not my opinions (which are immaterial) the lack of accountability here is egregious, unlawful & deadly
But these facts rarely get the attention they need.

And lastly I genuinely want my followers to have access to the same set of facts sans the media/bias filter.
I highly recommend you read this -or not
OSHA Must Protect COVID Whistleblowers Who File Retaliation Complaints via @NelpNews https://www.nelp.org/publication/osha-failed-protect-whistleblowers-filed-covid-retaliation-complaints/
whispers - wait until you read the PPE, Testing & Tracing & OSHA enforcement of CDC COVID-19 after action report. IMO people need to be charged with gross criminal negligence
at some point @SecGeneScalia dereliction of duty - there are through lines of his actions & deaths
Did think I forgot this thread
Or @realDonaldTrump (arguably improper) designation of “meat packing plants” were ”critical to the Nation’s infrastructure“?
Or @SecGeneScalia messed up OSHA guidelines re CDC guidelines would result in deaths

Yes I’m super mad & you should be too - @realDonaldTrump and @VP wined & dined Tyson Food executives, and @SecGeneScalia DID NOTHING about the CDC guidelines —> OSHA
I hate this administration with every ounce of my being
