(Houston Chronicle)
Amarillo-based Tyson Foods, Inc. is preparing to layoff nearly 2,000 employees in the north Texas city in the new year as the U.S. grapples with a cattle shortage.
Workers at a Tyson plant in Amarillo are bracing for layoffs expected to affect 1,761 employees Jan. 20, according to a Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification notice obtained by the Houston Chronicle. The notice, released Wednesday, comes after Tyson Foods laid off 275 employees at a Fort Worth food distribution plant in August.
