2020-05-06 | U.S. judge dismisses lawsuit over worker safety at Smithfield pork plant - Reuters

'(Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge has dismissed a worker advocacy group’s lawsuit accusing Smithfield Foods Inc, the world’s largest pork processor, of failing to adequately protect employees from the novel coronavirus at a plant in Missouri. '

'In the lawsuit filed last month, the RCWA accused Smithfield of creating a “public nuisance” by failing to protect workers at the Milan, Missouri plant and endangering the surrounding community. '

'Smithfield has closed other pork-processing plants in Missouri, Wisconsin and South Dakota after outbreaks of coronavirus cases among workers. '

'Smithfield responded that it had implemented protections recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and other agencies. '

'Virginia-based Smithfield, which is owned by China’s WH Group Ltd, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. '
