Dear Member,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you are aware, the President of the United States signed an executive order that forces JBS and other meatpacking facilities to reopen around the country during this COVID-19 pandemic. JBS plans to reopen the kill side of the plant this Wednesday, May 6. As it has been since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, your safety at work is our top priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the plant has been idle, our union has been hard at work ensuring that reopening the plant involves a commitment to enhanced safety guidelines for a safe reopening of the Worthington plant. I want to assure you that our voice as a union has been key to pushing for and developing these guidelines to keep you safe at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can view the list of safety measures JBS has implemented below or download it here<\/a>. This list was given to me on Saturday, May 2. Please note this is not a full list, as more changes and safety measures will come in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While all of these improved efforts are to keep you safe and reduce the risk of infection of COVID-19, they are not a guarantee that you will not become sick. For tips on how to also stay safe at home, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, such as a fever, do not go to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions about going back to work, please reach out and call the union office at 507.376.4234.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you and take care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Utecht<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President, UFCW Local 663<\/p>\n\n\n\n
