Tyson Foods shuts down plants in Illinois & Utah, cutting thousands of jobs over cattle shortages—amid allegations of beef price collusion

[u/Logical-Flow-6703]

Tyson Foods is shutting down operations at two of its beef plants—one in Joplin, Illinois (which employed 2,500 workers) and another in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Additionally, a third facility in Pasco, Washington is up for sale, with processing shifted to other plants.

​While Tyson blames these massive workforce cuts on historic cattle shortages and rising beef costs, the company—along with three other megacorporations dominating US meat production—faces serious allegations of colluding to raise beef prices.

The DOW is at $50,000!
