Washington, October 29 (RHC)-- In the United States, at least 59,000 workers at the five largest U.S. meatpacking companies caught COVID-19 during the first year of the pandemic, and 269 workers died. 

That’s the finding of a House of Representatives investigation which found meat industry managers grossly underreported COVID cases as the coronavirus tore through their slaughterhouses and meatpacking plants.  The toll was about three times higher than estimates from the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
