Workers at an Iowa dog treat plant, which is still open, say they don't feel properly protected from coronavirus and are fearful and on edge after a colleague died from complications of Covid-19.
Employees at a Tyson plant in Independence, Iowa, say they're fearful and on edge after a colleague died from complications of Covid-19.
They work in an industry few realize has been deemed essential by the federal government: the pet food industry. Plant workers tell CNN Business they don't feel properly protected from the virus. The company temporarily shut down two other plants in the state earlier this month due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus. Tyson says the Independence plant, which employs nearly 250 people, is critical infrastructure and essential to the nation's food supply.
