Explaining The Egg On His Face: Guv Brownback Tyson Jobs Plan Hatches Community Controversy And Protest

Leave it to an industry mag to come up with the best headline for this Sunflower State drama. Take a look:

Tyson's Plans Ruffle Feathers In Kansas

Tyson Foods plans to build a 300-acre, $320 million poultry hatchery, feed mill and processing plant near Tonganoxie, Kan., but the announcement Tuesday drew mixed reviews from county residents. Despite the economic potential, some Tonganoxie residents want Tyson to stay out of their community, with many upset that plans for the project were kept secret among state, county and city officials until Tuesday's announcement.

  1. These people are right to be angry, mexican illegal aliens will be heading to their town for the cheap jobs and to take their kids to the ER when they have medical issues.

  2. It is ironic that Tongie is upset about the plant. On the Leavenworth group on Facebook, some of the group is upset and mad that the plant is not going into the City of Leavenworth.

  3. Hey dummy(aka 6:54AM) The reason Mexicans work there is because they are the only ones who will. As a manager at a similar facility...I know. This is a fact. Fat, lazy, and dumb white-trash like you, won't work there. Are you prepared to work there? If not, please shut your ignorant mouth and move on to hating somebody else. The contempt you show for the Mexicans would be better served at people like you: big mouth white-trash.

  4. 8:23 if you paid a living wage and followed OSHA guidelines lots of people would work there.

    In Iowa the local population who worked in slaughterhouses for years got pushed out by illegal or migrant labor. Because you want to pay people 7 bucks an hour and charge them for their uniform and safety equipment.

  7. 8:59AM-What's a living wage? I thought everyone on here was against the $15 an hour wages those fast food workers wanted? Being as how you don't own the business, you have zero say in what the company pays. So if the Mexicans fill the jobs you won't, you should keep your mouth shut. That's the point. They are doing the jobs Americans won't and idiotic responses like yours show that you like most people on here, lack a fundamental understanding of economics. It's why people like you are being replaced by robots daily. But sure, blame the Mexicans...and immigrants in general. Moron.

  12. FACTS

    Tyson Foods has been caught & fined numerous times for several environmental laws !

    Tyson Foods has been Raided several times by US Customs and Local Police depts. for knowingly hiring and working illegals at their plants using FAKE Social Security numbers and Bogus identifications.

    as well as NOT paying the illegals properly under the FLSA / Fair Labor Standards Act guidelines .

    nor providing proper required "Workmans Comp" insurance on those illegal employees .

    as well as proper reporting to immigration services

    Yet often skirted the laws by claiming those illegal employees were NOT actual employees of TYSON FOODS , BUT, worked for an outside contractor with a contract to TYSON FOODS,,,,,,,,,,

    TYSON FOODS has been a pathetic joke for Decades since the mid 1980's era as I recall, their constantly in trouble for breaking and ignoring all kinds of laws !!

    The MAYOR of TONGY,, is either one good lying SOB, or he absolutely clueless and very NAIVE !!!!!

    I would NEVER EVER Sign a NON DISCLOSURE agreement, especially IF I was the MAYOR who was "ELECTED" to represent the Citizens of the community for which I am supposed to represent !!

    My Job job is to "Represent" those in my community 1st and foremost, NOT some outta state outside entity, for any reason what so ever !!

    NOBODY from TYSON FOODS voted for that TONGY Mayor did they ????????
