Tell Tyson Foods that Discrimination is not "Responsible"

Three Latinas filed suit against Beef Northwest late last week for sex and racial discrimination. Why? Because Beef Northwest's Boardman, Oregon operation hires very few women and the few that they’ve hired are all white.

Since Country Natural Beef, which we’ve written to you about previously, has decided to take its business elsewhere, Tyson Foods is the biggest user of Beef Northwest's feedlot.

Tyson Foods brags in their "Sustainability Report" that they: "[S]eek to enter into relationships with suppliers who share similar values." In their Code of Conduct, they state: "We strive to honor God and be respectful of each other, our customers, and other stakeholders." Yet Tyson remains silent on Beef Northwest's allegedly discriminatory hiring practices.

Please tell Tyson to break their silence. They need to demand that Beef Northwest do the right thing by all women, including women of color. Tell them the best way to assure workers’ rights are protected, is for workers to have a union contract.
