And they will be able to pay them much less, less benefits and not so tight work rules.
No more Tyson chicken for me.
Tyson is a leader in using insects for battered products. Avoid Tyson like the plague.
It’s no stunt. They have paid millions to lobbyist and the chamber of commerce to get RINOs/Dems in office to make this happen. Been going at it for years. Well, they finally hit the jackpot with Biden.
Yes, Tyson has been one of the companies that was subjected to "ICE raids" in the past (mostly political theater, IMO), going back to the latter part of the Clinton presidency. I remember being surprised, since Tyson was Arkansas-based.
I vaguely remember some big immigration bust on one of their factories a few years ago (a decade, maybe?).. I think it was in Minnesota.
Meat packers are always pro illegal alien.
assylum seekers= no OSHA complaints.
If their bugs are a fail they can feed them to any chickens they have left ,LOL
Yes, and I believe they used the chickens to smuggle cocaine at one time. They stuffed it in the carcasses if that’s correct.
Didn’t China buy the Tyson food processing plants????
I taught some adult education classes (ESL, reading, GED) at a meatpacker and at a furniture builder in the Chicago areas a few years back. Outside of a few blacks, there were almost no non-Latinos working on the line. I am not going to guess how many were not here legally.
I used to be a supervisor in a biotech company and was involved in hiring. For some reason, I had the responsibility of getting the documentations from new hires to establish their legal status to work in the U.S. I don’t know how Tyson, Perdue, etc. get away with cutting corners on that requirement, except they must have friends in high places.
A damned shame.
Do you know who used to work in meatpacking jobs in the St. Louis area when I was a kid? Black and white American guys from my neighborhood.
No more Tyson for me either! Bud lite of chicken!
Or me.
I believe you’re right.
“Tyson is shutting down their meat plants and replacing them with bug plants.”
Bugs Munney.
Haven’t been buying ‘Clinton Chicken’ for years and years...
That’s what people are saying on Twitter but I couldn’t find it in the news.
Tyson’s hired them for years. They have a plant in Shelbyville, TN and got into serious trouble over the illegal Mexicans they were bringing into the country several years ago.
Later, the town was invaded by Somalies, all there to work at Tyson.
I’d say they’ve been invaded by the current crop of whatever’s coming across the border. I haven’t been there in years so I can’t say for sure, but it’s a pretty good bet based on the history.
