Reuters: “Tyson Foods (TSN.N) workers and activists rallied outside the U.S. meat company’s headquarters in Arkansas on Monday to protest child labor and push for improved working conditions in processing plants.
Activists and the Biden Administration have pressured the U.S. meat industry to adopt safer labor policies after children hired by contractors were found doing dangerous jobs cleaning slaughterhouses.
Dozens of protesters marched near Tyson’s offices in Springdale, Arkansas, with signs saying “Stop child labor” and “Let children be children.” They chanted “Hey hey, ho ho, exploitation’s gotta go,” according to a livestream of the event on Facebook.”
