Better be, I ain't buying Tyson anymore. Not until they have the cajones to fire the illegals.
SPRINGDALE, Ark. Tyson Foods will temporarily close 12 plants nationwide Monday because workers are expected to attend immigration rallies.
The decision by Tyson reflects the high numbers of immigrants who work in the U-S meat industry.
Some Hispanic organizations have called for immigrants not to shop or work May first in protest of proposed stricter legislation on illegal immigration.
Cargill Meat Solutions and Pittsburgh, Texas,-based Pilgrim's Pride also say they expect interruptions.
Cargill says it will temporarily shut down plants. Pilgrim's Pride say it will make scheduling adjustments.
The temporary shutdown affects five of Tyson's nine U-S beef plants, four of its six pork plants, one of its 54 poultry plants and two of its 27 prepared food operations plants.
