Donning and Doffing Settlement Reached with Tyson More than 17,000 Tyson poultry workers in 41 plants in 12 states settled a $32 million dollar lawsuit in a 12-year struggle to get paid for work already performed. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), as the leading union for meatpacking and food processing workers, initiated the suit against Tyson and played a critical role in obtaining justice for Tyson poultry workers and thousands of UFCW members affected by the suit. On Thursday, the United States District Court in Georgia approved the settlement. Members of UFCW 227 in Robards and Corydon have longstanding lawsuits against Tyson for donning-and-doffing time. The lawsuit will result in payments, averaging around $1,000 per worker, to current and former Tyson workers across the country. These payments will inject much-needed money into America's rural economy and reward a hard-working and dedicated group of poultry workers. The affected Tyson poultry workers work at plants in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. This lawsuits and the new pay practices in the meatpacking industry are just one way union workers raise standards for every worker in their industry, regardless of their union status. We recommend you call legal counsel at 1-855-300-6220 with any questions. We will keep you informed as we learn more. |

Hart Research Associates to find out how young workers were faring in the economic crisis. The AFL-CIO wanted to know how much had changed in the year since that landmark survey. read more... |
