Don't Buy Meat This Monday! A Way to Protest Companies that Support Illegal Immigration
Posted on 04/28/2006 1:52:22 PM PDT by Die_Hard Conservative Lady
This is my first vanity post, so be nice!
I just heard on FoxNews that the meat packing company "Tyson" will be closing Monday to allow their employees so march in the protest on May 1st, whihc is this coming Monday. Are they an American company? They seem to forget they it's "Americans that purchase their product and keep them in business.... I also left them an email on thier website stating my feelings on them supporting this protest march...
Okay, I feel better now..... Thank you! Pleasse also go to the Tyson website and leave them an email as to how you feel....
I work in a hospital and used to do the workmans compensation cases for the local Tyson plants. THEY use so many illegal criminals that the local US citizens have a hard time finding work.I will call the two local plants and tell them I will never buy another Tyson product (already to that, never liked the bent one's buddy Tyson)
Have boycotted Tyson since the Clinton's, who were buds with that bunch. Plenty o'chicken out there without theirs.
Make that "Clintons"....not possessive.
How about boycotting the liberals in 2006 (both parties) for causing and allowing this to happen in the first place. We are losing our country faster than I have ever witnessed (including under Klintoon in the 90's).
Been boycotting these clowns for years, ever since I learned of their connection to BJ Clinton.
If they don't hire ILLEGALS why would they be forced to close? The only companies that will be missing workers are the ones who hire ILLEGALS. It is well documented that LEGAL immigrants(not ILLEGAL ALIENS) do not support the ILLEGALS for it makes the sacrifices they went through to get here and obtain legal resident status and citizenship meaningless!
JP....you seen this?
Great Idea
I never liked that elfin redneck Tyson anyhow
It's low grade yardbird anyhow
Bell and Evans .....I think Perdue doesn't hire illegales.
A version could be made for dim liberal friends, explaining that Tyson "exploits poor undocumented workers". The republican version would simply say that "Tyson uses illegals".
Can't I already don't buy anything Tyson ...
I haven't got any Tyson product since Bill Clinton. Tyson was a Clinton money source.
Hear Hear.
I will never let my shadow hit the door of any joint in Nashville that closes for this ANSWER sponsored goonie march....never
even if they serve the area's best mole poblano
This is to educate people on why Tyson is the right target to demonstrate internet solidarity.
I am also asking everybody to start chain letters to all their friends and acquaintances inviting them to join the boycott.
I am also asking everybody to Fax their Senators to vote against Guest worker/Amnesty.
I would appreciate it if you guys would join in and keep it going. I am going to be busy and short of time. We need to get to the Senators quickly.

Eight former Tyson Foods employees are suing the company, alleging it hires illegal employees to reduce the hourly pay. The suit alleges that legal hourly workers "have been victimized by a scheme perpetrated both by Tyson and through a conspiracy among its top management" to reduce their pay "by knowingly hiring a workforce substantially comprised of undocumented illegal immigrants." ___________________________________________________________________________________
