It is true that IBP is owned by Tyson, however, that has only been true for about 18 months. The change istigated by IBP in hiring policies occured in the 70s.
I can agree with your point about anyone hiring illegals. The plant closings on the other hand are a neccessity as nobody can run a plant without 60% of their workforce, legal or not.
Speaking from experience here as we have tried several times to accomplish it during strikes and it flat doesn't work.
You are missing the point. The fact that they are closed indicates they most likely have illegals working for them. This is the basis for the boycott. Not that they closed in sympathy or support of the march.
In the case of Tyson it is for sure they do. Don't ask, I am not going to answer the question that generates.
If we can keep the boycott going until something comes of it, it will prove to be true.
