On Friday, Teamsters Local 577 members at Tyson Foods of Amarillo–described as the "largest beef processing plant in the United States" and "essential to the beef supply chain"–announced that its some 3,100 members had voted to authorize a strike at the facility and should the strike happen, it could create a domino effect of chaos.
What exact ramifications a strike at the facility would have is currently unclear, but presumably, it would add stress to the supply, making it harder for the company to keep up with demand and raising prices, which is certainly not what shoppers want to hear so close to July 4 hot dog eating contests and planned cookouts.
Though famous for its frozen chicken nuggets, Tyson owns several other meat brands that could be impacted by a potential strike, including Jimmy Dean, BallPark, Aidells, Gallo, Star Ranch Angus, Wright, and Hillshire Farm.
"We're not just fighting for more money," added Keisha Carey, a member of the Tyson Teamsters Negotiating Committee. "We're tired of seeing people suffer. We're tired of seeing people hurting."
Local reporters at NewsChannel10 were told members of the negotiating committee have one more meeting with Tyson to negotiate a deal. But further details, including the date of that meeting, were not provided.
"Tyson has a saying that we’ve got your back, but as far as I can see right now, we have to have our own backs. If they really had our backs, we wouldn’t have to go this far, but now we’re tired of talking, and we’re tired of hearing this and hearing that. We want solutions and we want them now,” Angela Moore, Teamsters Local 577 member at Tyson Foods of Amarillo, told the outlet.
