Six months after @globeandmail investigation of unsafe OHS conditions at Cargill's High River, AB plant, site of 938 COVID infections + 2 COVID deaths, @globeandmail selected Cargill as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers.

Here is my correspondence with G&M editors. #canlab 1/
@globeandmail justification of selection of Cargill as Top 100 Employer. "[...] we stand behind our decision to editorially support Cargill’s inclusion on the list." 2/
@globeandmail says they are open to questions about Cargill's selection as a Top 100 Employer but prefer to correspond by email. /3
Seeking clarification from @globeandmail on selection of Cargill as Top 100 Employer. 4/
@globeandmail declines to respond to any questions about Cargill's selection as Top 100 Employer. /5
My last note to @globeandmail Editors on December 2, 2020. No reply received.

"Everyday your paper seeks transparency and accountability from governments and businesses. I am asking for the same from your paper." /7
Cargill remains the site of Canada's largest COVID outbreak. The @globeandmail's reporting in May 2020 uncovered how this outbreak, associated illnesses and deaths, could have been prevented. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… /8
In June 2020 "Family members, friends and other people who were in close contact with Cargill employees who contracted the novel coronavirus" launched a class action lawsuit against Cargill. /9

Just this week another large COVID outbreak at another Cargill plant. /10 globalnews.ca/news/7528443/c…
Bottom line: @globeandmail should not celebrate a company that had a large (preventable) COVID outbreak that infected over 900 workers, took the lives of 2 workers & the life of a worker's father.

Employee health and safety was not a top priority at Cargill. /10
Top 3 Google News results for "Globe and Mail" and "Cargill".

What message does this send? /11
Cargill received high marks in the Top 100 Employer selection for "Physical Workplace" and "Training & Skills Development." /12
