Today, we filed a complaint to @USDA representing @foodchainworker @HEAL_Food @IORCinfo RCWA @ForwardLatino & AFCS-Iowa against @TysonFoods & JBS, whose policies put Black, Latino, and Asian workers at greater risk of contracting & suffering from #COVID19 https://food.publicjustice.net/press-release-meat-workers-and-allies-nationwide-file-racial-discrimination-complaint-to-challenge-meat-processing-corporation-actions-alleging-racial-discrimination-in-disastrous-covid-19-response/
JBS & @TysonFoods have rejected CDC guidelines on stopping the spread of COVID19. Nearly 70% of their meat processing plant floor workers are Black, Latino, and Asian and suffering more than white coworkers and the largely white mgmt + salaried employees. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6927e2.htm
As recipients of
*millions of dollars in federal funding,* JBS and @TysonFoods are prohibited from engaging in disparate, intentional, and systematic racial discrimination by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Policies that endanger workers are a deliberate choice to put profit over the lives of workers and their communities.
If JBS & @TysonFoods won't prioritize the safety of their Black, Latino and Asian workers, @USDA must enforce our basic civil rights laws. #Justice4TysonWorkers
