Another round of job cuts from chicken processor, this time in Kansas
Tyson Foods announced Monday to employees it would close its facility in Emporia, Kansas in February 2025.
The plant (shown below in a photo from Tyson's website) has more than 800 employees. Multiple news outlets have confirmed the decision.
"After carefully considering our options and the impact of this difficult decision, Tyson Foods regrets to inform you it must permanently end all operations and permanently close its Emporia, Kansas facility," Ernesto Sanchez, vice president of operations, beef and pork, said in a letter to employees.
"We anticipate that the last day of operations at the Emporia plant will occur on or about February 14, 2025. On that date, the entire plant will permanently close, and your employment will be terminated. Because of the nature of our business, certain operations and positions may continue past the date above."
