The Protecting America’s Meatpacking Workers Act of 2021 (S.B. 3285) would provide comprehensive protections for meatpacking workers, including ensuring that a broad range of workers—beyond meatpacking workers—are not punished or otherwise discouraged from using legally protected time off through abusive attendance policies.
