For the Third Week, Sudanese workers who are the majority of this Meat plant are continuing bravely their strike for justice and work rights.
Mohamed Elgadi
Tyson Foods has forced thousands of workers into the cold and onto picket lines at the company’s plant in Brooks, Alberta. About 2,300 UFCW Canada Local 401 workers at the Lakeside Packers plant had no other choice but to strike on Cctober 12, 2005, after the company rejected a provincial mediator’s contract agreement, which workers voted 90 percent to accept. Workers are asking for basic human rights and safety protection on the job, but have only been met with violence and racism on the picket line.
These workers, many of them refugees from Sudan and Somalia and immigrants from Nigeria, have been attacked on the picket line and subjected to racist jeers. Three were sent to the hospital after being beaten and left writhing in a ditch beside the road. The Local 401 president was also hospitalized when his car was run off the road by Tyson officials, who have since been charged with dangerous diving.
Tyson’s greed continues to come before the right of workers to have dignity, respect, and safe working conditions on the job.
