Oh right, like the liberal media isn't outraged over meat packers getting the disease en masse because they're being forced to go to work during dangerous times. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen if one dies from it. You don't have to prove much in a civil lawsuit.  The university may even pay to make it go away.  If places of work routinely ignore basic safety advice regarding public health, they could easily be sued for endangering their staff. [/quote]

Aren't we all outraged that meatpacking employees are getting covid because their employers didn't provide a safe workplace? It's hard to believe that's a partisan thing, as though the "liberal media" were saying, this is terrible, and the people who like to use the term "liberal media" were saying, ho hum, dead meatpacking employees, who cares as long as the price of hamburgers doesn't go up.[/quote]

The problems at meatpacking plants go waaaaay back. The employers routinely hire undocumented (or, if you prefer) illegal immigrants. Rarely do the employers get prosecuted for violating immigration or labor laws because they know their employees are afraid to speak up. Why do the employers hire these people? Because they will work very hard for little pay...so that the company can keep costs down and maximize profits. The employers haven’t given a damn about their employees in the past. Why would they start now?[/quote]

Society in general hasn't given a damn about the meat-packing employees either.[/quote]
