Tyson Foods has been slapped with a series of civil rights complaints accusing the meat-packing firm of discriminating against American workers and favoring migrants.

America First Legal (AFL), a conservative group, filed several civil rights complaints against the $54 billion firm on Wednesday, saying it offered perks to migrants that it denied to US citizens.

Tyson faced a boycott in March from conservatives, who were angry that the company was axing 1,300 workers at an Iowa pork plant while hiring scores of newcomer migrants in New York City.

The company says it does not favor migrant labor over Americans.
Reed Rubinstein, an AFL lawyer, accused Tyson executives of acting like ‘global citizens who live and work in the US by happenstance.’

‘Our citizens and consumers deserve companies that put America and her people first,’ Rubinstein said.
His group filed a federal civil rights complaint with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and also asked the Department of Justice and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission to probe the company.

AFL, which is led by former Trump administration officials, also wrote to Tyson’s CEO Donnie King and its board.
The complaints refer to the roughly 42,000 migrants among Tyson’s 120,000-strong workforce. They refer to the shuttering of a plant in Perry, Iowa, which was announced in March.

Meanwhile, the company’s corporate responsibility boss Garrett Dolan said Tyson wanted to double its number of immigrant employees to 84,000 in 2024, the papers say.

The letters refer to Tyson’s partnership with the Tent Foundation and a 2022 pledge to hire 2,500 refugees in the US over three years.
The company also spends $1.5 million each year on helping migrants pay lawyers to get US papers and work permits, AFL says.

King, the Tyson boss, said the company spent $2.4 million on migrant legal aid in an annual report, the complaint says.
