At some point in the near future, USDA and all federal departments are going to have to share information about how workers complied with the vaccine mandate. UFCW noted the union negotiated with Tyson Foods on its vaccine mandate, which resulted in 96% of Tyson's workers being vaccinated. "America's frontline food and retail workers have faced extreme health risks throughout the pandemic," said Marc Perrone, president of the UFCW International. The New York Times spotlighted how Tyson got 60,500 workers to become vaccinated after announcing a mandate in August.
