US Poultry Giant Under Fire After Segregation Scandal is Revealed

by Andrew Buncombe
A group of black workers is suing the world's largest poultry meat producer, accusing it of tolerating a racist workplace where African Americans were routinely abused and a "whites only" sign was pinned to the lavatory door.
Tyson Foods is accused by 13 workers of maintaining a segregated system in a break area at one of its plants in Ashland, Alabama, that was "reminiscent of the Jim Crow era".
In addition to the posting of the "whites only" sign, the workers allege that the lavatory was padlocked and only white workers were given a key, that workers hung a noose in one of the recreation rooms and annotated a picture of monkeys with the names of black staff. When the workers complained, they say the plant manager told them the facilities had been locked because they were "nasty, dirty [and] behaved like children".


Workers launch mail campaign to boycott Tyson pepperoni at Pizza Hut

06 May 2003


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) is launching a direct mail and e-mail campaign asking about a half-million American families to boycott Tyson Foods by not ordering pepperoni on their Pizza Hut pizzas.

According to a UFCW release, the mailing also asks Pizza Hut customers to contact the chain and request it make its pizzas "Tyson-free."

The group also has a Web site explaining its plight.

The dispute between the company and the workers arose in late February when Tyson demanded workers accept a complete elimination of the pension plan for all future workers, cost increases for health insurance and a wage freeze on top of a wage cut.

According to the release, the Tyson cuts are part of "a national campaign to roll back corporate greed in response to Tyson's effort to rollover striking workers at a highly profitable pepperoni plant in Jefferson, Wis."
