For 30 yrs @TysonFoods tightened its grip on AR poultry industry, putting farmers, workers & communities at risk. Our joint investigation w/ @guardian, in collaboration w/ worker organizer @magalylicolli, shows the effects of these monopoly-like practices https://t.co/Mq8Js2U5ze
Today we stand with @TysonFoods workers who are asking for a $4/hr increase to all workers across the board. If Tyson is having trouble hiring workers, they should become a BETTER employer, not worse
Shame on @TysonFoods for restricting workers' bathroom and water breaks, failing to provide COVID protections, and refusing to pay workers a fair wage! #ShameOnTyson
Tyson, the country's biggest chicken producer, says that it can't find enough workers for its plants.
Is anyone surprised? These workers make, on average, ~$28K/year, and 1 in 3 have tested positive for covid-19. The risk hardly seems worth the reward.

Like a bad boyfriend, @TysonFoods has lied, cheated, and walked away from its messes. And just this week, progressive shareholder groups pressed the company to take responsibility for its failures and do better. But no dice. @UCSUSA#Shameontyson https://t.co/qvU0blEPxo
Magaly Licolli of @VenceremosAR shares testimony from Tyson worker in compelling speech during today's AGM: "Once we get injured, we are worthless to the company, they see us as expendable, not as human beings”. #Justice4TysonWorkers
@TysonFoods has lobbied @USDA to speed up animal slaughter lines throughout the pandemic. Fast line speeds make social distancing for workers impossible. #Justice4TysonWorkers https://t.co/QlDHrR8DKj
While @TysonFoodsCEO made $10 million+ during the pandemic, 12,000 workers got sick and 39 have died. The median worker made only $37k. @tysonfoods#ShameonTyson#Justice4TysonWorkers
@TysonFoods Tyson is blocking shareholder resolutions to hold the company accountable for its human rights abuses during #COVID19. #Justice4TysonWorkers https://t.co/7y9oJkALfl
“Workers need, and deserve, a significant improvement in pay, paid sick leave, and safe working conditions. It is unacceptable that workers must rely on community aid to survive while working for the most powerful U.S. meat company”. Magaly Licolli’s speech during Tyson’s AGM
@TysonFoods 12,000+ @TysonBrand workers have gotten sick from #COVID19. 39 have died. Yet @TysonFoodsCEO STILL refuses to improve conditions and is fighting worker-driven safety solutions proposed by its shareholders. Do better! #ShameonTyson#Justice4TysonWorkers
Reminder to #TysonFoods shareholders to tune into the AGM tomorrow at 11 AM Eastern and support the #humanrights proposal. Hold Tyson accountable for its insufficient #COVID19 response and failure to respect #workersrights#Justice4TysonWorkers https://t.co/RzDhjrtA0s
When its workers got covid-19, Tyson pressured a local mayor to downplay the outbreak, even writing quotes for him to use in press releases.
This is why we need to address corporate power in the food system. No company should have this kind of influence.
