Tyson Foods lesson: Don't bet on COVID-19
Tyson Foods Inc said it had fired seven managers at an Iowa pork plant after investigating allegations that they took bets on how many employees would catch COVID-19.
The independent investigation, led by former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, came in response to a lawsuit filed by the son of a worker at a Tyson facility in Waterloo, Iowa, who died in April of complications from the virus.
The lawsuit claimed that plant managers misled workers about COVID-19, bet on workers catching the virus and allowed sick employees to continue working.
Tyson in November suspended the employees accused of wagering at the Waterloo facility - its largest U.S. pork plant, according to Reuters news agency.
The COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the meatpacking industry, infecting thousands of workers at slaughterhouses hit by outbreaks.
