CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) —
Tyson Foods Inc. depressed workers’
wages by hiring immigrants known to be
illegal, according to a lawsuit filed by four
former employees.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in U.S.
District Court in Winchester by former
hourly employees of Tyson’s plant in
Shelbyville. The plaintiffs say they are U.S.
citizens and are seeking class-action status.
“The civil action is going to compensate
the innocents who have been devastated by
the illegal hiring scheme,” said John
McMahan, a Chattanooga attorney repre
senting one of the plaintiifs. It s the only
way to hold Tyson accountable.”
Tyson and six former managers, includ
ing a vice president, are accused in an
indictment of conspiring to smuggle illegal
immigrants to work at 15 company plants
in Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Tyson spokesperson Ed }
declined comment Wednesda
lawsuit.
The lawsuit accuses Tyson ofrelj
temporary employment service,
recruiters, who were paid for each
immigrant the company hired. Non
workers in the same communitiesas
plants received much higher wagft..
ing to the lawsuit.
