To fill in gaps on info....it's safe to say that a huge number of the Tonnies folks (butchers in a mass warehouse operation) came down with Corona (more than 1,500 folks were tested positive). Along the way, the state authority came in and did a massive inspection and failed them on various things....some minor....some significant. Also, along the way.....a lot of video came up on their temp-housing for Eastern European guest-workers....with a lot of Germans getting hyped over how the company was treating the workers.
Just on Corona alone, the company stumbled badly, but the rest of this really laid into standard practices.
The state made various regulations which were lettered for only 'mass-meat-processing' companies. In simple terms....the big guys. The medium and smaller companies were left out of the regulations. This was supposed to clean up abuses.
So Focus came up today to discuss the newest Tonnies gimmick....their lawyers showed up and filed 15 briefs....creating 15 mini-meat-processing plants around the region. They basically divided up all their work, and the new regulations written by the state are mostly now non-effective.
The 15 little companies are mostly just sub-contractors, if you view the method they are constructed.
Drawing more attention? Yes, but if you write more regulation that affects medium and small butcher operations.....then you harm the rest of the industry which was doing the right thing all along.
