Can someone go through this article and cite some more of the facts? I've done a couple, but this article really deserves a nice clean-up. -- Zanimum 16:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC) --
I work for the company, so might not be considered a "neutral" source. So I'll not edit. However, this statement is innacurate: "Many of their employees are at their 84 company-owned chicken grower operations." Tyson owns less than one percent of the operations that grow chickens for its production. Most are independent farmers who grow under contract for the company. As such, these farmers are not employees. Of the 107,000 company employees, fewer than 100 work on company-owned growing operations. Most of the employees work at the company's manufacturing operations.
