The president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union said Thursday that he is urging Sioux Falls Smithfield workers who contracted COVID-19 not to participate in a statewide study into the effectiveness of a malaria drug to treat the disease.

Gov. Kristi Noem has supported a statewide clinical trial of the drug hydroxychloroquine to determine if it might have benefits for COVID-19 patients, but UFCW President Marc Perrone said he wants no Smithfield workers to participate.

Who died and made the president of the United Food and Commercial WOrkers International Union God?

[nclaurel]

Is it your life or your job? That should be criminal!

[Darnright]

If one of those members dies, the family should own that union.

Smithfield is a Chinlee company now. Hmmmm. Wonder why they would not want their employees in HCQ trial?

Unreal. The governor encourages —statewide— trial of hydroxy, and the union at the meatpacking plant opposes it??!!??
