Tyson Food LawsuitWHSV-TV
October 15, 2006
Tyson foods is facing a class action lawsuit after being accused of depressing wages by hiring illegal immigrants in eight plants in six states, including Virginia.
A federal judge in Tennessee handed down the status to the company yesterday.
The attorney for Tyson's employees says he is now seeking damages for thousands of workers at the eight plants.
In 2003, a federal jury acquitted the company for conspiring to hire illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America for low wage production jobs to boost profits.
A trial date has not been set.
