Adopt the Meat and Poultry Workers and Contractors Protection Act

Summary

The bill would force large meat‑packing facilities and related animal operations to file a disaster‑mitigation plan and, during and for two years after a disaster, cover workers and contract growers for injuries, illnesses, and job loss. It is meant to improve safety and compensation for employees who face high rates of cuts, amputations, musculoskeletal problems, and disease exposure. The requirements apply to plants with 250 or more employees, large enclosed CAFOs, or facilities that need a federal water‑pollution permit.
