Meatpacking workers already have some of the highest rates of injuries of all workers in all industries. But instead of focusing on trying to keep workers and our food safe, Big Ag has been pushing to speed up production lines.
Increasing line speeds means that inspectors can’t do their jobs, so the thought of granting waivers during a national public health crisis and further endangering public health and worker safety is unthinkable.
That’s why Food & Water Action has championed a vital bill in Congress to stop regulatory waivers now. But we need your help to move it forward.
Send a message to your members of Congress asking them to co-sponsor the Safe Line Speeds During COVID-19 Act.
