STILL #NOTANINFLUENCER. Food Shortages Imminent? The longer this shit down lasts, the more scared i become of Bread lines and food Shortages. Tyson Foods Warns: ‘Food Supply Chain Is Breaking’; Government Must Allow Workers To Return Without ‘Fear, Panic Or Worry’ John Tyson, the chairman of Tyson Foods, warned in full-page ads published in The New York Times and The Washington Post on Sunday that as more meat plants are being forced to close amid the coronavirus crisis, “millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain.” Tyson has been forced to close multiple plants after weeks of public pressure. The company, “which employs roughly 100,000 workers, closed its pork plants in Waterloo, Iowa, and Logansport, Indiana, last week so that workers in those facilities could be tested for the virus,” CNN reports. “The Waterloo plant closure came after weeks of public pressure. Production had already slowed there because many of its 2,800 workers had been calling out sick, and local health authorities linked the Tyson plant to 182 cases — nearly half of the county’s total.” While the company is “taking steps to protect its workers, including installing dividers between workers and relaxing its attendance policy to allow sick workers to stay home,” as reported by NBC News, the plants remained close. The significant disruption in meat production caused by the closures — which other companies, inlacing Smithfield Foods, are also facing — is leading to a food supply crisis, Tyson explained in the statement Sunday. “In small communities around the country where we employ over 100,000 hard-working men and women, we’re being forced to shutter our doors,” said Tyson. “This means one thing — the food supply chain is vulnerable. As pork, beef and chicken plants are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain. As a result, there will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed.” In order to get the plants producing the food so desperately needed, said Tyson, authorities much take action so that workers can return to work safely and “without fear, panic or worry.” “The government bodies at the national, state, county and city levels must unite in a comprehensive, thoughtful and productive way to allow our team members to work in safety without fear, panic or worry,” said Tyson. “The private and public sectors must come together. As a country, this is our time to show the world what we can do when working together.” If we fail to take action, he warned, the consequences will be dire because “the food supply chain is breaking.” “In addition to meat shortages, this is a serious food waste issue,” he explained. “Farmers across the nation simply will not have anywhere to sell their livestock to be processed, when they could have fed the nation. Millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities. The food supply chain is breaking.” “We have a responsibility to feed our country,” Tyson stressed. “It is as essential as healthcare. This is a challenge that should not be ignored. Our plants must remain operational so that we can supply food to our families in America.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-it-tyson-foods-chairman-warns-food-supply-chain-is-breaking-government-must-allow-workers-to-return-without-fear-panic-or-worry . i appreciate all of you! please consider a small monetary donation to paypal.me/sydewalkclosed to help support this channel! or donate monthly at patreon.com/sydewalkclosed thank you again! . #sydewalkclosed ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK_vE9dtvNQ
