"Time To Bud Light Them": Tyson Foods Firing Blue-Collar Workers & Replacing Them With Illegals | ZeroHedge

SATURDAY, MAR 16, 2024 - 12:00 AM

Calls for a boycott are intensifying on X following Tyson Foods' announcement earlier this week to shutter a pork processing facility in Perry, Iowa. This move will eliminate 1,276 blue-collar jobs. At the same time, the mega food processor has expressed interest in hiring tens of thousands of illegals.

"While this decision was not easy, it emphasizes our focus to optimize the efficiency of our operations to best serve our customers," a Tyson spokesperson said in a statement to Food Dive.

Perhaps the optimization part of the supply chain is better explained by Garrett Dolan, who leads Tyson's efforts to eliminate employment barriers such as immigration status, told Bloomberg, "We would like to employ another 42,000 [migrants] if we could find them."

Or explained by Charlie Kirk...
The Great Replacement in action.

Tyson Foods is firing American workers and replacing them with illegals.

Adding insult to injury, Tyson Foods will also provide lawyers to help with "immigration" hearings.

The idea that Tyson is firing hardworking Americans while attempting to exploit cheap labor from illegals enraged X users. Many of them called for a boycott of all Tyson's brands.
Tyson is closing its facility in Perry, Iowa and laying off its 1,200 workers.

Instead, they plan to hire thousands of new illegals in states like New York.#BoycottTyson. Pass it on. pic.twitter.com/CTweuRbAMU

Tyson Foods is closing its Perry, Iowa pork plant.

This will cost the town 1,200 jobs.

The current population in Perry is 7,928.

Tyson Foods is currently looking to fill 52,000 factory jobs and it’s planning on doing so by hiring illegal aliens in NYC over the next 2 years.

Shouldn’t be hard for my family. Don’t buy any of their frozen crap, we only buy blue and gold bacon and sausage. Will make sure to not buy Sara Lee. If they do have something to do with McDonald’s, my kids don’t even like eating there

Don’t forget about General Mills starting… pic.twitter.com/bkTsU8SK02

This sort of thing has gone on in this industry for decades, and it is why the border crises were not taken seriously for most of the last fifty years. In the early 1990s, when I worked at the Department of Justice, companies would send buses into Mexico to hire people illegally and bring them back to the US. That was stopped (or greatly lowered) after raids and convictions under Bush Sr. However, it simply motivated the companies to hire in other ways.

So I've been saying for over forty years now they need to go after the big corporations doing this with CRIMINAL charges against people like CEOs, FOs, and the local managers encouraging this. In the 1980s, when I worked in Worker's Compensation for the State of Colorado, I was the backup translator for some workers who got injured and were cast aside. Some of the stories were tragic, and the employers considered the occasional payout worth the money "saved" by not paying minimum wage or proper insurance most of the time.

It would be easy to develop a system where smaller employers had to review the paperwork and submit it to an agency for verification. If they did that, and the person was illegal, they are off the hook, and it is the government's job to pick them up and deport them. However, LARGE employers are responsible for the full vetting of their employees, with severe (hurtful) fines and penalties if a pattern is found of them avoiding the law (or their contracted "outsourcing" agency was hired to do so).

That's another way the "Bigs" get away with this. They pretend their employees are not theirs but work for Fly By Night Employment Agency. They do this to avoid paying penalties when caught not paying proper wages, insurance, or benefits. In Europe, laws are increasingly changing, too. They work in your building and follow your rules (or you wear your uniform and drive your trucks). They are your employees.

Anyway, until this sort of thing is made both highly illegal and the BIG VIPs start going to jail and are personally bankrupted with fines, this is going to continue (and bankrupt Tyson or the other companies with fines, too).

Seems like many of the corporations have no problem at all with firing Americans and hiring illegals to do the same job and pay them a lot less. People in the C-Suite gotta get their bonuses and profit sharing you know.

I witnessed the exact same thing with a nearby egg producer. Injured workers seeking treatment with me were actively denied access to medical care, dozens and dozens of them. They were near-slaves in their existence, terrified of the employer for fear of deportation and loss of on-site primitive housing threats from employer. They lived in rat-infested hovels next to the mountain of dead chicken carcasses covered with buzzards (that aren’t even native to Maine other than right at this site). A true sweat shop. “They owed their souls to the company store.”

The only way to get justice and at the same time hurt the huge corporations that practice such labor policies is by removing all of the regulations, labor/payroll laws and taxes on all employers.

At the same time remove all government safety nets and subsidies. And fed government agencies in the business of enforcing mandated regulations, taxes and payroll liabilities.

Main street would boom again. One would have to hide to not be able to find a good job. The bad jobs can be given to the newly fired bureaucrats.

Just joking.

:D

Chobani started or owned Tyson. I dont think a person should be buying their products either. Before I knew this, I bought a few yogurts which were thrown in refrigerated bins in grocery store on sale. Maybe they knew about this! A local market! Chobani does support this too!

It angers me because I’ve grown up in small town and close to other ones, it is their livelihood. Not much else in towns like these to support and keep small towns going! They are adding to the ruination of small town America! No we don’t want the illegals there but rather I like to support small town America And the people working there. People that are here legally is ok to work in those areas!

I'm already boycotting Tyson (except for the Jimmy Dean in the freezer...we won't be buying any more of their products) because they are becoming the big FOOD BUG company, and I don't trust them at all.

I don't have the link, but it was about a month ago that it hit the news.

I've printed out the image and will have it for customers...more and more folks are waking up.

And they like Budweiser won’t even notice any boycott.
Make a customer happy, and they tell 10 others.

Make a customer unhappy, and they tell 30 others.

They may not notice, but eventually we are going to be a groundswell
against companies, and hopefully convince them to do right.

So does this mean that Americans are again ready to get off the dole and work for a living ?

Last I heard, everyone is hiring and no one is responding.

They all do it. Any of these big food processing outfits. This story was cobbled together with two different sources/stories, close as I can tell. One saying the company is going through a consolidation, and closing a plant. (This has been ongoing). The other, that the company wants to hire "migrants"....which they have been doing, and will continue to do. Then, the author (Tyler?) puts a big fat "perhaps" in the middle to connect the two stories.

I don't buy much "Tyson" stuff, according to the list of brands posted above, (just like I have never in my life bought crap Budweiser beer!) so not going to go all wiggity over this one.

Just for informational purposes:

About 10 years ago (?) a Tyson chicken plant south of here (between here and Jackson) was raided by ICE something like 300 illegals were .....what would you call it.....arrested, captured.

Point being Tyson has been using illegals for a long, long time. The only fly in the chicken soup now is, they are making it known publicly.

It's not just chicken. Evidently, some wood mills hire a lot of illegals. Oregon

As far as doing the jobs Americans won't do, I remember reading here somewhere that ICE raided a chicken processing plant, causing a lot of jobs to open and there was a line of Americans who were applying for those jobs. Sorry, no link and I don't have time to track that story down.

Neither here nor there.
They currently employ around 120k with 40k being "immigrants" They want to hire 40k more illegals at $16.50 per hr plus immigration attorney services at no charge and paid time off for court. You just can't make this up, no one would believe it
If this is the case then our government has its hand in this mess. Which means the Jewish guy who owned the packing plant in marshalltown, Iowa, who was convicted for hiring illegals and is now serving time for something like thirty years should be set free and compensated for time served and for the loss of his business!
