“Adopting farm labor organizer César Chávezs rallying cry, “Si se puede” “Yes, we can”, immigrant workers have now taken on behemoth Tyson. On March 1, workers will vote on whether to unionize under the United Steelworkers. The union would represent 2,450 workers in Tysons Holcomb plant, about 80 percent of whom are Hispanic.
In May, Holcomb workers sued Tyson, alleging the company violated labor laws by not paying them for time spent putting on and taking off protective equipment.”
