Pilgrim’s Pride Sued

The Texarkana Gazette reports that Sybil Elijah and Rayford Brown are suing Pilgrim’s Pride chicken processing plant in Mt. Pleasant in Texarkana’s federal court. It represents the estates of their spouses who died of COVID-19. The complaint alleges that Pilgrims waited too long to implement measures such as mask-wearing, social distancing, on-site testing, temperature monitoring, and mandating that sick or knowingly exposed employees stay home for recovery or quarantine period.
