Summary
Tyson Foods will require all 120,000 U.S. employees to be fully vaccinated and will offer a $200 bonus for those who get vaccinated. The company is facing concerns from unions about the mandate and is in talks to address workers' rights and provide exceptions for medical or religious reasons. The decision comes as Covid-19 cases surge, especially in areas with low vaccination rates, and after at least 132 meatpacking workers have died from the virus.
