OSCAR FERNANDEZ INDIVIDUALLY AND AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF ISIDRO FERNANDEZ v. TYSON FOODS, INC., TYSON FRESH MEATS, INC. et al.

Two lawsuits, both filed [Tyson complaint 1, Tyson complaint 2] by the estates or surviving family members of Tyson workers who died from contracting COVID-19 at their workplace, allege that the managers of meatpacking plants acted recklessly, lied to their employees about the risk COVID-19 posed, and placed bets among themselves on how many employees would contract the disease.
