In addition to a lack of provisions like hand sanitizer, a worker tells FOX 2 the walkout was spurred by a worker at the plant testing positive for the coronavirus.
In a statement, FCA said:
“FCA learned today that one of the subcontractors working on the new construction of the Mack plant, which will be the first new plant in Detroit in nearly 30 years and will provide an additional 3,850 jobs, has potentially tested positive for COVID-19.
Even though this individual is not one of our employees, out of an abundance of caution and in the best interests of everyone working at the site, we halted work so that the subcontractor can carry out a deep cleaning of all areas where their employees work. This is supplemental to the extensive program of cleaning and social distancing protocols FCA has already introduced across all our facilities. When we are satisfied that the site is ready to resume construction, we will continue with the program.”
