Cargill remains the site of Canada's largest COVID outbreak. The @globeandmail's reporting in May 2020 uncovered how this outbreak, associated illnesses and deaths, could have been prevented. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-how-cargill-became-the-site-of-canadas-largest-single-outbreak-of/ /8
In June 2020 "Family members, friends and other people who were in close contact with Cargill employees who contracted the novel coronavirus" launched a class action lawsuit against Cargill. /9 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-class-action-lawsuit-alleges-cargill-failed-to-take-covid-1/
Just this week another large COVID outbreak at another Cargill plant. /10 https://globalnews.ca/news/7528443/cargill-guelph-coronavirus-covid-19-outbreak/amp/
Bottom line: @globeandmail should not celebrate a company that had a large (preventable) COVID outbreak that infected over 900 workers, took the lives of 2 workers & the life of a worker's father.
Employee health and safety was not a top priority at Cargill. /10
