In 2021 Tyson committed to an independent racial equity audit and agreed to produce a public report within one year. 13 months later that audit has not even begun. Tyson Foods: stop hiding from the truth, stop hiding from the public, finish the audit, and release the report!



Tyson Foods recently rolled out an app to replace their Human Resources staff, leaving workers with no support. Tyson executives see their H.R. workers as replaceable – and believe the rest of their workers don’t deserve the support of trained professionals.



Three hundred nonunion poultry workers in Arkansas, slated for layoff May 12 when Tyson Foods closes their plant, struck for a week. Here's their story, a collaboration between us and Facing South. labornotes.org/2023/04/throwi…

There was this cute moment when a worker leader of Venceremos grabbed the 📢 and told the Tyson workers during the strike “our friends of Coalition of Immokalee Workers taught us, when I ask ‘estamos cansados?’ you all say, ‘que es eso!?” to continue the picket line. 😅✊🏽

"I’ve heard directly from workers that supervisors in some poultry plants are already beginning to use this political environment to spread the word that they’re not going to give bathroom breaks to Hispanic workers, only white workers" Magaly Licolli labornotes.org/blogs/2024/12/…

"If they expand temporary visas to the meat processing industry, as Trump tried to before, it would be catastrophic. We’ve already seen thousands of cases where the human rights of farmworkers are abused under guest worker programs," writes Magaly Licolli: labornotes.org/blogs/2024/12/…
