Pilgrim’s Pride reportedly laying off illegal workers - Nacogdoches, Texas

“La Lengua readers began calling the paper, saying that the Pilgrims Pride facility in Nacogdoches was going to lay off any employees who could not show a legal Social Security number.

“If they cant verify the Social Security number, they have to find another job,” Hispanic community activist Gabriella Zavalla said. “Some of them, they are giving three days notice, and others they are giving eight days notice, but its affecting a lot of people. One day in the morning the Nacogdoches plant laid off 40 people, then in the afternoon they let another 20 people go. Then one day it was about 100 people.”

La Lengua contacted Pilgrims Pride for confirmation, but company officials said they would not comment on personnel matters.”
