Doesn’t it depend on whether the virus is circulating in the community or not?
Even if the virus does, the new plant reorganization should slow or impede the spread of infection inside the plant; and if the new workers become ill, by then the original workers could also be recovered and able to return to their original job. Expanding the work force allows for greater flexibility so people can be cycling in and out as needed to keep production moving.
P.S. It’s also good to remember that Tyson Foods have been a long time ally of the Clintons. I’m not really convinced that Tyson is being honest.
It’s the training the new employees on equipment that can cause serious injury with a majority of your current trained employees out sick.
Catastrophic amputations aren’t trivial.
The majority of people who’ve had this are back at work within a month. It might be easier for the company to just wait it out until they’re back on the job.
In ‘our’ community, the workers brought the virus back from mardi gras or something apparently the middle/end of February. we got community spread from THEM.
