Tyson Foods accused of discriminatory employment practices against US citizens
==========

Tyson Foods is accused by America First Legal (AFL) of discriminating against American residents by favoring the employment of immigrants, particularly youngsters and those in the country illegally. AFL has sent letters to the US Department of Justice, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and an Iowa civil rights organization, requesting investigations into Tyson Foods' employment standards. AFL claims that Tyson Foods employs 42,000 foreign workers, accounting for more than one-third of its US workforce, and actively participates in recruitment programs. Tyson Foods denies the allegations and states that it does not discriminate against Americans in favor of immigrants. The Justice Department, the EEOC, and the Iowa agency have the option to investigate the accusations and potentially reach an agreement with Tyson or file a lawsuit. This is the first instance of AFL charging bias against American workers, as they have previously filed complaints against large US firms for alleged discrimination in diversity programs. The EEOC has not commented on whether it is looking into the allegations.
