Tyson Foods Inc. is reportedly hoping to offer employment to additional migrants, as President Joe Biden says he wants more of them to fill workplaces and jobs across the nation.
Bloomberg reported on March 11 that Tyson is working with the nonprofit group Tent Partnership for Refugees in the hiring project that centers on those who have come through New York City’s intake system.
The company already has approximately 42,000 immigrants in its workforce, the report said.
Bloomberg wrote:
Tyson is joining the nonprofit Tent Partnership for Refugees, which was founded by Chobani yogurt magnate Hamdi Ulukaya, with a plan to hire some of the 181,400 migrants that have come through New York City’s intake system over the past two years. The meatpacker already employs about 42,000 immigrants among its 120,000-strong US workforce.
“We would like to employ another 42,000 if we could find them,” said Garrett Dolan, who leads Tyson’s efforts to eliminate employment barriers such as immigration status or the need for childcare.
On a cold day last month, Tyson officials met with immigrants at Chobani’s offices in Manhattan and hired 17 asylum seekers from Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia for jobs at its plant in Humboldt, Tennessee. Last week, it hired 70 more.
The report states that the starting wage at Tyson for the jobs the migrants would fill is $16.50 per hour. And that comes with benefits, Bloomberg explained:
The migrant hires and other new entry-level workers receive on-site childcare and transportation, as well as English classes for those who want them. The company is providing its new employees from New York with temporary housing, a relocation stipend and paid time off to better acclimate to their new lives in Humboldt.
Bloomberg quoted Dolan as saying, “We’re recognizing there’s not a lot of people that are going to be working labor-manufacturing jobs that are American.”
Many new hires “are going to come from refugees and immigrants, so we’re now in the business of strategically thinking that through,” he added.
For politicians, an unprecedented stream of asylum seekers presents an intractable problem with no easy answers. For companies like Tyson Foods, this presents an opportunity. https://t.co/Tw94MFdipy

Fox Business followed up on the story, and Tyson Foods then accused Bloomberg of “misinformation.” Tyson provided the following statement to Fox Business:
“In recent days, there has been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company, and we feel compelled to set the record straight. Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program.
“Tyson Foods employs 120,000 team members in the U.S., all of whom are required to be legally authorized to work in this country. We have a history of strong hiring practices, and anybody who is legally able is welcome to apply to open job listings.”
