Discussions continued between Cargill and its union on Sunday after the union launched legal action to stop the planned reopening of the meat-packing facility.
As of Sunday, Alberta Health said there are 935 cases of COVID-19 among workers at the Cargill plant in High River and 1,538 cases that have been linked to the facility.
The plant was set to reopen Monday with health measures like temperature checks, mandatory face masks and other protective equipment, enhanced sanitizing and increased physical distancing.
But on Friday, United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 401 — the union representing Cargill workers — filed legal action to stop the planned reopening.
