Thread: REPLY from Tyson Foods

Thanks for your message. We want you to know we have zero tolerance for
employing people who are not authorized to work in the U.S. We use all
available tools provided by the U.S. government to help determine our
Team Members are authorized to work in this country.

Tyson voluntarily participates in the Department of Homeland Security's
Basic Pilot program, which allows us access to government databases that
assist in the documentation authentication process. We've used the Basic
Pilot at all of our plants since 1998. Before the Basic Pilot became
available, we participated in the government's Electronic Verification
Pilot or EVP program.

We train our hiring managers on proper employment documentation
procedure and work to increase their awareness of identification and
documentation fraud. We regularly audit our hiring process including
work authorization documents and also use an independent, outside
company, which conducts its own audit of our hiring practices.

The Basic Pilot is effective in helping us verify the Social Security
numbers of the people we hire. Unfortunately, the program has
limitations. It does not currently help us in cases of identity fraud
when an individual assumes someone else's name by using their Social
Security number. This is another reason we support efforts to reform
immigration law. We believe companies should not be placed in the role
of policing who has proper work documentation. If the government isn't
going to assume this responsibility, then it should give companies more
tools to do the job, such as an improved Basic Pilot that can help us
verify the previous employment of newly-hired workers.

Buddy, I have to say that Tysons just lied to you big time.

They didn't even answer me...yet.

I got an answer from Home Depot, they said about the same.....must be written in stone, somewhere!

I didn't expect any less from them. I didn't think they would reply at all! Of course, they aren't going to admit it. I know they do here in TN, cuz some of them live in my complex.

Didn't we run an article on ALIPAC last year where they had been charged for hiring illegals in the past ??

Charles, i have posted that link - or a link to thread that has the link - that has that news article in it. It is in the Poultry Boycott Thread

Visit some Tyson* poultry plants on election day. Look for busses out front transporting illegals to and from the polls. Watch the plants close early as illegals are rewarded with the afternoon off (with pay) for voting.

Am I right?
Am I wrong? (hope so)

You tell me!

Coto

*Not just Tyson, what about other big employers of illegals?

Did Tyson mention they closed their plants today?

Thanks

IF all they hire are legals, why did they close down their Georgetown plant so that their ENTIRE WORKFORCE could attend a pro-illegal alien rally in Washington, DC?
