The U.S. Department of Labor has fined two meatpacking companies, which are worth billion dollars each, with $15,615 and $13,494 after 10 of their workers passed away due to coronavirus earlier this year. As stated by the Food & Environment Reporting Network, six workers of the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colo., and four laborers of Smithfield Foods plant in Sioux Falls, S.D. died from coronavirus. Over 300 people of the Greeley plant and about 1,300 of the Sioux Falls location caught the virus. JBS, the Brazilian-headquartered, the world's largest meatpacking company, was issued a $15,615-worth fine based on an inspection in Greeley on May 2020, while after the spring inspection, Smithfield was penalized $13,494, Ny Daily News reported. Last year, the world's largest meatpacking company reported a $1.5 billion net income. The federal fine charged to the company is only comparable to about 0.001% of the reported income.
