Tyson Foods to invest in Kentucky facility; faces strike in Texas
SHARE

Tyson Foods, a US meat giant, has announced plans to invest nearly $23.5 million in its facility in Robards, Henderson County, Kentucky. This investment is aimed at meeting the increased market demand for protein and expanding production capacity to offer a wider variety of products. The project will involve adding new equipment and upgrading the current facility, with construction set to begin this year and expected to be completed by spring 2026.

However, Tyson Foods is currently facing challenges at a beef-processing site in Amarillo, Texas, where workers are preparing to go on strike. The staff at this site, who are members of the Teamsters union representing 3,200 workers in slaughtering and processing, have voted 98% in favor of strike action, demanding higher wages and improved benefits. Union president Al Brito expressed concern over the disparity in pay between workers and corporate leadership, highlighting the need for fair treatment of employees.

The union has filed several unfair labor practice charges against Tyson Foods, accusing the company of breaching labor laws. Allegations include coercing injured workers to withdraw claims and misleading employees by threatening job loss for participating in a strike. This comes after Tyson Foods was part of a group of US poultry processors that settled a long-standing wage dispute by agreeing to pay $180.8 million to plaintiffs, although they did not admit liability.

“Tyson Foods to invest in Kentucky facility; faces strike in Texas” was originally reported by Just Food, a GlobalData owned brand. This news highlights the ongoing challenges in the meat processing industry and the importance of fair treatment of workers.
