Migrants Protest After Over 100 Workers Suddenly Lose Their Jobs
Newsweek ^ | May 24, 2024 | Nick Mordowanec

An egg factory under the umbrella of the nation's largest fresh egg producer and distributor has suddenly laid off between 150 and 200 migrants in Delta, Utah.

Delta Egg Farm informed the workers of their fates this week as many were let go or expected to be relieved of their duties, reported KSL.com, which was informed of the firings by officials from El Gallinero, a labor contracting firm in Delta.

In 2023, the farm's parent company—Cal-Maine Foods, which is based in Ridgeland, Mississippi—reported fourth-quarter net sales of $688.7 million amid total fiscal year net sales of $3.1 billion. Newsweek has contactedCal-Maine for comment via email.

Wednesday, between 50 and 75 relieved employees and El Gallinero representatives demonstrated on a street in Delta, KSL.com reported. They held U.S. flags and signs that said "We Feed America" and "150 Families Without Jobs."

.... Snip....

One Peruvian migrant told the outlet he and his former co-workers were "herded" out "like animals."

"All of us here were fired," said another woman, who declined to provide her name as she was not authorized to work in the U.S., KSL.com reported. "They haven't told us anything. We want them to give us our jobs back and give us an explanation why they got rid of us this way."

Antonio Morales, a migrant from Mexico who worked for the farm for 14 years, expressed uncertainty due to his new circumstances.

"Fourteen years, and one day to the next, they fire us," Morales told the outlet. "It isn't fair."

LAW concerns the form I-9.

IT is still on the books.

Biden Admin is ignoring it all.

Some illegals I’ve spoken to in Oregon were working on farms and nursery jobs in Oregon for years and making 20$/hr lost their jobs to Biden’s “newcomer” illegals who then got hired as replacements for 15$/hr-the long time employees get dumped in favor of the newcomers who will gladly take 15$/hr

“”A Peruvian illegal said his former co-workers were “herded” out “like animals.””

That's how you came in, right?

The law is still there, overwritten by executive order.

Now remember what would happen to you and I if we did this in another country?

What a stroke of genius it was to get Frankie Laine to sing the Blazing Saddles theme song.

No information on the El Gallinero. Official business or a coyote organization?
