Eighty five years ago, the U.S. outlawed child abuse in sweatshop labor. So, it was a shock in 2022 to learn that an American company, owned by a Wall Street firm, sent children as young as 13 to work in slaughterhouses. https://t.co/Ewt9lPireL

Happy #InternationalWorkersDay! 💪

Today, we honor workers around the world and renew our fight for their right to organize in pursuit of a living wage, dignity, and basic rights at their workplaces.

Many of you have seen and heard from one of our leaders, Maira Mendez. Sadly, her family’s house caught fire, and they need support as they manage a difficult journey ahead. If you are able, please consider donating to their GoFundMe to help them rebuild https://t.co/owB0mLSQg5

Today @Public_Citizen released documents obtained through a @USDA #FOIA that show @SmithfieldFoods officials asking the USDA to answer why an inspector warned their friends and family about #COVID outbreaks on social media. (Pg. 59 of the 474 pg. doc)

[Dulce Castañeda @dulcastaneda]

THIS is why we demand transparency and accountability.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

BREAKING: New docs we uncovered show the meatpacking industry vehemently fought COVID safety measures, arguing that isolating exposed workers was overkill.

When outbreaks occurred, the industry tried to keep it secret.

These docs are utterly damning. https://t.co/sFoOngwcbx

One year later, @smithfieldchild is still calling for protections for essential workers. One year later, our communities are still suffering. Thank you, @rosadelauro of @AppropsDems for this hearing and to @DebbieBerkowitz of @NelpNews and @FarmwrkrJustice for testifying with me.

[Dulce Castañeda @dulcastaneda]

Pitiful.

Want to know what a worker's life is worth in America?

More than 1,000 workers at Smithfield's Sioux Falls SD plant contracted coronavirus.

Four of those workers died.

OSHA just issued a fine against that plant.

For $13,494.

A real pleasure and honor to talk with @RomuloVega from Romu Media about my experience with @smithfieldchild and advocating for our essential parents!

[Dulce Castañeda @dulcastaneda]

There’s always more work to be done, but I’m proud of what we have accomplished so far. @smithfieldchild
