A U.S. District Court in Minnesota has issued a decision regarding line speed limits at processing plants. Food and Water Watch’s Senior Staff Attorney Zach Corrigan calls the ruling a victory for processing plant workers.
He says the line speed rule was allowed prior to the pandemic and the need for quicker meat processing.
Corrigan says now it’s up to the USDA to rewrite the line speed rules for the processing plants.
The U.S. District Court in Minnesota stayed its order for 90 days giving the Biden administration the opportunity to rewrite the Trump era policies.
