Tyson Foods and the largest union representing Tyson meatpacking workers have reached an agreement to provide paid sick leave for fully vaccinated workers.
Tyson issued a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for its employees in early August with a deadline of November 1st.
In the deal, workers will be able to earn up to 20 hours of paid sick leave and the vaccine mandate will now provide precautions and safeguards for medical, religious and other protections.
