Handout to food processors misses the mark on worker safety
Ottawa, May 5 2020 – The Prime Minister’s announcement today concerning safety in food processing plants completely misses the mark, according to the Agriculture Union which represents federal food inspectors.
“We’re disappointed. If we had been consulted, we would have advised the federal government to get off the sidelines and exercise their responsibility and authority over federally regulated food processors when there are outbreaks and to shut them down when they are not safe,” said President Fabian Murphy.
