Tyson Foods, Inc. closed its beef processing plant in Joslin, Illinois, and the decision resulted in over 2,500 workers losing their jobs after the company announced the closure on Aug. 13 and the plant was closed with a last day around Aug. 14. Workers and organizers held rallies protesting the abrupt shutdown and demanding full WARN Act severance (60 days) and better compensation; employees reported being told to go home with minimal notice. Tyson cited historic cattle shortages and is refocusing its beef operations around facilities in Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas, while also closing a case-ready facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah and pursuing a sale of its Pasco, Washington beef facility. The closures are occurring amid a smaller U.S. cattle herd and an anticipated beef production decline, while Tyson reported strong sales and significant adjusted operating income in its recent fiscal reporting.
