                   RECOGNIZING TYSON PLANT EMPLOYEES

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, our Nation's frontline 
workers must be commended for their tireless work during this pandemic.
  I am reminded of the 2,200 employees in my district who work at the 
Tyson Food plant in Wilkesboro. These men and women come to work every 
day to help put food on kitchen tables across the country.
  This week, a Wilkesboro salon restricted access to Tyson employees 
out of caution for COVID-19. While the salon owner's intentions may be 
good, there are safety measures that can be enacted to protect all 
patrons and employees.
  It is critical that we understand the challenges that these frontline 
workers are facing, and we must do everything we can to support them.
  Exclusionary actions are not the solution. We are in this fight 
together, and we must take care of one another.
