Just how many of these shuttered or work slow down plants are unionized?
Some, but the union is pretty toothless. Most of these meat processing plants are in smaller cities and towns were alternatives for work aren't readily available. It's the meat processing plant or nothing.
What's causing the shutdown is the fact that Covid has been found among the workforce of 119 meat processing plants in 25 states. It's getting the workforce to return in the face of that. Since these plants are deemed necessary for the national defense then I'm assuming the employees either return to work or else they're deemed to have quit and are not eligible for unemployment. It's work or starve for the rank and file.
Speaking 40 langues???? None. Where is ICE?
Bacon prices up, supply low, lunch meats were more plentiful but FULL prices. No sales even for Mother’s day, except wine and beer. Not even flowers. Can’t eat out, restaurants are full with 10 people, can’t sit together.
Most of the hamburger was the CHUB packs, lowest, bad tasting crap. NO COUNTRY OF ORIGIN EITHER.
Diapers rationed to 2 packages. NO TP OR PAPER TOWELS, a few boxes of facial tissues.
If you need BOOTY wipes better grab what you can. Took me 4 weeks via Prime to get the smallest package, I have GI Diseases and need them. Maybe DIL will get off her Butt and Potty train granddaughter who is 30 months old. Should have done it 6 months or more ago. My boys were by 18 months.
