Tyson Foods Supports Comprehensive Immigration Reform; Compa
http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stori ... 407&EDATE=
SPRINGDALE, Ark., April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tyson Foods, Inc.
(NYSE: TSN) today disseminated information to its team members about the
company's efforts supporting comprehensive immigration reform under
consideration in the Congress (see attached). The company also wanted to
share with its team members how to weigh in on the national debate
regarding this important issue.
"We are disappointed that the U.S. Senate failed to pass a
comprehensive immigration reform bill this week," said Ken Kimbro, senior
vice president, human resources. "We hope they will do so when they return
from their Easter recess, and the company will be working with the U.S.
Chamber, the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition, and others to see that
this is accomplished."
Tyson Foods' workforce is composed of a diverse population, reflecting
the customers we serve and communities in which we operate and serve.
Tyson Foods, Inc., founded in 1935 with headquarters in Springdale,
Arkansas, is the world's largest processor and marketer of chicken, beef,
and pork, the second-largest food company in the Fortune 500 and a member
of the S&P 500. The company produces a wide variety of protein-based and
prepared food products, which are marketed under the "Powered by Tyson(TM)"
strategy. Tyson is the recognized market leader in the retail and
foodservice markets it serves, providing products and service to customers

Comprehensive Immigration Reform is Important to Tyson Foods
How You Can Be Heard
Recently, debate on U.S. immigration policy has been seen through
rallies and demonstrations across the country. Tyson Foods understands and
supports the right to express opinions about this critically important
matter.
Questions have been raised about how to effectively get your opinion
heard. You can effectively express your views by writing, calling or e-
mailing your U.S. Senators and Representatives to tell them you support
comprehensive immigration reform. These are the officials who make the
decisions. Let them know your opinion -- it counts! Your Human Resources
representative can help you do this by providing names and addresses of
your U.S. elected officials.
If you plan to participate in an immigration reform demonstration being
held during work hours, talk to your supervisor first about getting pre-
approved time off, or participate during your non-working time. Please
don't jeopardize your good employment record and your income, which are
important to you and your future.
We hope your participation will include activities that do not involve
time away from work. It is important for you to maintain a good employment
record. Some aspects of the Congressional debate over immigration reform
and citizenship eligibility relate directly to proof of a good employment
record.
What Tyson Foods Supports
* Our company strongly supports efforts to create a new immigration law
that is fair and supports our Core Values. We have been very active
in supporting groups for comprehensive immigration reform.
* Our company is a member of the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition
(EWIC), and supports guest worker provisions and a process for
undocumented workers already in the U.S. to be able to earn permanent
legal status.
* We are also a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and have
partnered with other national organizations to communicate with
Congress on the importance of comprehensive immigration reform. Tyson
managers have also been encouraged to share our company's views on
this issue with their respective members of Congress.
At Tyson, we honor and value all our Team Members and believe diversity
is one of our nation's strengths.
Living Our Core Values -- We strive to be a company of diverse people
working together to produce food. We strive to be honorable people.
Remember, if you have any questions, please talk to your Human
Resources representative. Thank you.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Oh
Why does this not surprise me as the National Chamber of Commerce also supports the selling out of our country! I AM SICK OF THIS! OUR own government and corporations are sticking it to us!

Tyson: We Hire Illegals Champion
No wonder Tyson is for immigration reform. It wasn't that long ago they were being investigated for recruiting illegals in Mexico. I haven't eaten their product for a long time now and encourage everyone I know not to buy their products. Maybe a real boycott is due for Tyson.

Please add Perdue chicken products to your boycott lists. This is the second time they have shut down their Delaware processing plant so it's workers could join these protests. The last time was the Friday before the Chicago march.

Two words
Two words, Boycott Tyson! What they are saying is "we break the law and we want it to be legal!" Bottom line? The bottom line!
