Tyson Foods fires managers who started betting pool on workers getting COVID-19
Little Rock, December 18 (RHC)-- U.S. meat producer Tyson Foods has fired managers at an Iowa pork slaughterhouse who allegedly held a cash-buy-in, winner-take-all betting pool on how many workers would become infected at their plant.
The news was released from the Tyson headquarters located in Springdale, Arkansas. The allegations emerged as part of a lawsuit filed by the family of a former meatpacker who died from COVID-19 in April during an outbreak that killed six workers and sickened over 1,000.
