Workers at Perdue Chicken Plant in Virginia hold car rally to protest lack of protections.
Date: 04/27/2020
50% of the COVID-19 cases on the Eastern Shore in Virginia are linked to Accomack County’s Perdue Farms and Tyson Foods chicken plants, the county’s two biggest employers. Companies say they are increasing protections but workers say it is too little, too late. The company will eventually increase the number of employees eligible for remote work and further increase safety protections.
