"Tyson says that workers will not be able to travel to Mexico or their home countries in December and nobody will get a vacation" - an Arkansas poultry processing worker
Eons ago it started with egg farming. Seriously, Arkansas was known for it’s eggs, oh, and it’s rice. The time came when poultry was viewed as the healthy meat, eggs were given a bad rap over cholesterol. Fast forward 46 years later and I am wont to ask, “Which came first, the egg, or the chicken?”
Thanks for sharing this story. Tyson's actions are disgusting and not surprising. Here in Iowa we see the same practices by meat packing plants.
As with every issue you report on, thank you for your commitment to this story. You are the best of this industry.

Crazy!
Great work, Alice!
