Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants

Ms Nora Labo:

We have an example in our union. There is one plant which is strongly unionised, with members in our union in west Cork, where there was a massive cluster of Covid. While some of the workers tested positive and were told to self-isolate, other workers living in the same house were told to keep coming to work, even though there was contact tracing and management had all the workers' addresses so that it was obvious that these workers were all living in the same place.
