'We're up here risking our life for chicken': Georgia plant employees walk out over coronavirus concerns
Close to 50 employees who walked out Monday morning say some workers on the production line were in contact with people who tested positive for COVID-19
The Perdue plant in Kathleen was a little emptier Monday after about 50 employees walked out.
They said they don't feel safe working around people who have potentially been exposed to coronavirus and want the plant to do more to protect their employees.
"We're not getting nothing -- no type of compensation, no nothing, not even no cleanliness, no extra pay -- no nothing. We're up here risking our life for chicken," said employee Kendaliyn Granville.

"We're told there's going to be more promotions and more pay for the company, but no one has seen that," said Gray. "I think a lot of people are just tired and with the virus involved. Also, I think it's just gotten to the point where enough is enough."
You tell 'em Kendaliyn and Diamond!
