Statement from Acting Labor Secretary on USDA study’s worker safety data

*WASHINGTON –* Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su issued the following statement on findings from the USDA on worker safety in poultry and swine plants:

“The findings in USDA’s report on worker safety in poultry and swine plants show that injuries, including chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders are too common. These kinds of injuries often go unreported.

“The study found that the increased risk of injuries created by increasing line speeds could be mitigated with other controls, specifically having more workers on the line and having effective ergonomic plans. I hope that meat and poultry companies do what is needed to make worker safety a first principle. The health of our nation depends on it.”
