On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a $5.8 million judgment against Tyson Foods in favor of the workers who sued the company.





In 2007, more than 3,000 current and former employees of a Tyson pork processing facility in Iowa sued the company because they had not been paid for overtime. A jury awarded the workers $5.8 million for past due wages. Tyson refused to accept responsibility and took the case to the Supreme Court, which ruled against it. Now Tyson has no choice but to pay its employees what they are rightfully owed.













Although the Supreme Court held Tyson accountable for treating its workers unfairly, Tyson still needs to take responsibility for the animals under its care. Please sign the petition urging Tyson Foods to adopt a meaningful animal welfare policy.
