There was an aluminum chloride explosion at the Darling Ingredients animal rendering plants last night in Wadesboro, NC. One many died in the explosion and hundreds of employees had to run away from the aluminum chloride cloud that chased them after, while rubble and slag rained from the sky. Nobody could leave for hours and were forced to stand in the rain. More information can be found here: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article276691486.html
Now tonight, this company is asking it's employees to come back to this death trap.
This is the same company that's neglect lead to aluminum chloride poisoning deaths in at least 5 employees in the past 10 years and to a similar explosion that injured 5 in 2020. This is the same company that sends memos out to its employees during COVID, expressing joy in the highest profits ever and the owners buying a million dollar horse while planned pay raises were cancelled.
Darling Ingredients kills its employees and avoids accountability time and again.
