Assessments
Duckworth took concrete same-term action by meeting with affected Tyson workers and local leaders and publicly backing transition and reemployment resources. Local workforce resources, including a large job fair for displaced workers, were also delivered during the transition. However, the evidence does not show that Duckworth directly caused those resources, secured a specific federal remedy, or completed the broader outcome of ensuring affected workers had all needed support to return to the workforce, so this merits partial rather than full delivery.
