FarmSTAND (anteriormente el Food Project de Public Justice), Public Justice, Towards Justice, Nichols Kaster y Justice at Work presentaron una demanda en el Distrito Medio de Pensilvania utilizando un mecanismo nunca antes probado en la Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional, intentando obligar a la OSHA a hacer cumplir las protecciones en el lugar de trabajo en los mataderos. Como resultado de nuestro caso, los trabajadores obtuvieron un importante instrumento legal cuando la OSHA no logra protegerlos. Este es el primer caso en reconocer que los trabajadores pueden recurrir a los tribunales para obligar a la OSHA a protegerlos contra un peligro inminente, de acuerdo con el art\u00edculo 662(d) de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En una planta de procesamiento de carne de Maid-Rite en Pensilvania, los trabajadores de la industria de la carne est\u00e1n en riesgo extremo de contraer COVID-19 y se produjo un brote al inicio de la pandemia. Las condiciones de salud y seguridad desastrosas de la instalaci\u00f3n \u2014sin distanciamiento social, incentivos perversos para trabajar a pesar de la enfermedad, oportunidades limitadas para lavarse las manos y m\u00e1s\u2014 son comunes en los mataderos de todo el pa\u00eds, lo que las convierte en focos nacionales de brotes de COVID-19. Hasta el 20 de noviembre de 2020, doscientas y cinco trabajadores de la industria de la carne han muerto por el virus. La mayor\u00eda de los trabajadores m\u00e1s afectados son personas de color, un s\u00edntoma del racismo profundamente arraigado en el sistema alimentario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pesar de la continua presi\u00f3n ejercida por Justice at Work, la OSHA pospuso la inspecci\u00f3n de la planta,<\/a> violando su obligaci\u00f3n de proteger el bienestar de los trabajadores. Cuando finalmente la agencia realiz\u00f3 una inspecci\u00f3n, dio aviso previo para que la empresa pudiera cambiar temporalmente sus pr\u00e1cticas. La agencia Todav\u00eda <\/em>No ha tomado ninguna medida a pesar de haber visto a los trabajadores aglomerados mientras realizaban sus tareas. La renuncia de OSHA a su responsabilidad permite a las empresas de procesamiento de carne seguir benefici\u00e1ndose a expensas de los trabajadores. Este caso tiene como objetivo hacer que la agencia responda por su deber de proteger a los trabajadores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despu\u00e9s de que apelamos la decisi\u00f3n de un juez de Pensilvania de desestimar nuestro caso, El Tercer Circuito otorg\u00f3 a los trabajadores una importante victoria<\/a>Los empleados pueden recurrir a los tribunales para que la OSHA protejales contra un peligro inminente cuando la agencia no lo hace. Aunque el tribunal del Tercer Circuito no otorg\u00f3 a los trabajadores de la planta de empaque de carne de Maid-Rite la ayuda que merec\u00edan, confirm\u00f3 una herramienta jur\u00eddica importante para la seguridad de los trabajadores.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
