After having the virus spread at their plants and some workers even dying, Tyson Foods now requires all employees to be fully vaccinated. The deadline is October 1st for office workers, November 1st for all other workers. Tyson is the largest food company in the country to require their workforce to get the jab in the arm. In addition, a $200 incentive may be available to frontline workers subject to an ongoing discussion with locations with union representation.

To support efforts to fully vaccinate all team members, the company will also provide $200 to its frontline team members, subject to ongoing discussions with locations represented by unions. This is an expansion of the company’s existing policy of compensating workers for up to four hours of regular pay if they are vaccinated outside of their normal shift or through an external source.Exceptions to the vaccination mandate will involve workers who seek medical or religious accommodation.
