Tyson to close four processing plants in US.

[Missourian]

Two of the facilities being shuttered are in Missouri.

Tyson lost $417 million in the last year...which seems impossible with the cost of beef skyrocketing, pricing many out of the beef market and into pork and chicken.

Where are they building and opening plants? Or did the poppa die and the kids just let the business go to hell?

Like the concept of Walmart or..yeah, that one's a little too close to home to mention, nm.

They are building one here in Virginia that is supposed to start hiring sometime in the very near future. I wouldn't read too much in this announcement yet. Companies often build new plants before they shutter the old ones just to keep sales up during the transition. Otherwise, they would have to shut down and lose sales while existing buildings were overhauled.

Thank you Bidenomics

They just closed one in Virginia a few months ago. 700 jobs lost. They closed another plant at that time in Van Buren Arkansas...900 jobs lost.

Bidenomics in action!

I hope Biden's Chinese buddies don't have anything to do with this. I heard they were buying or looking to buy some pork producing operations.

Ooooh no less chemical filled toxic chicken. I wouldn't mind seeing fast food chicken places struggle.

Do those jobs pay $30 plus benefits? No american should be paid less than that for working there.

They already own the largest pork producer in the US, Smithfield Foods.

Didn't read the article did you? Chicken is not pork.

Most of these jobs are now filled by illegals who can't afford decent housing, living in hovels, destroying good neighborhoods. I am surprised they can find that workforce in Virginia.

They were out on the eastern shore which is a rather curious place (Just google the watermen types on the Virginia shore. They are dodgy people). I think the new plant is just a turn the pink slime into nuggets facility as opposed to slaughtering or processing the raw meat.

Those are sad pathetic wages. No american should be doing that job for that wage. Time for Tyson to jack up it's wages. Big time.

Depends on where you live. Those kids don't slave away in lithium mines for your tesla batteries for their health. What we spend on starbucks in a week is big bucks in the third world.

Thanks to Gracie for posting this in another thread. Here Kennedy describes how China now controls 80% of hog production in the US.

I was just thinking about that, everyone should see it. Glad you posted it!

The Lykes family still has things here. I reckon they aren't a large percentage of nationwide stuff.

China should not be allowed to own Smithfield in America.

That Gracie link is very relevant to this thread.
