- While Tyson's overall workforce is diverse, White people make up 72% of its salaried employees. Amid the criticism it has faced, the company has been working to improve career prospects for lower-level workers with development programs including向上的路径。

Tyson has faced a litany of complaints and legal action about its treatment of workers. It在爱荷华州的一家工厂解雇了七位经理after internal investigations found they had bet on which workers would contract COVID-19. During the pandemic, workers' rights groups提出民权投诉with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, accusing the company of failing to protect its largely Black and Latino meatpacking plant workforce from contracting the virus. Earlier this year, two former employees of a North Carolina plant — both of whom are Black and Muslim —filed a discrimination lawsuit against the company声称他们在四年的工作任期内反复被经理称为种族诽谤。
Magaly Licolli, executive director of poultry worker rights nonprofit Venceremos, said in ICCR's statement that Tyson treats workers of color inhumanely.
“We hope that the company will follow through on its promise to conduct a truthful accounting of its racial equity failures by acknowledging the harm done every day to the Brown and Black poultry workers in its plants, and then go further by implementing systemic solutions to correct this injustice rather than just words on paper,” Licolli said in the statement.
Tyson Senior Director of Public Relations Gary Mickelson told Food Dive that the company had been planning to conduct a “human rights assessment” in 2022 before any investors called on them to do so. He said that Tyson reached out to the ICCR once it received the audit proposal in order to start negotiations about the audit.
Tyson, whichhired its first chief officer of diversity, equity and inclusion this summer, has different racial breakdowns of employees based on job level. Its hourly employees are primarily people of color — 26.8% are Black, 29.5% are Hispanic and 27% are White. For salaried employees, 12% are Hispanic and 10% are Black. Only two out of 14 executive roles at Tyson are held by people of color, according to the ICCR.
The company has announced initiatives aimed at promoting a more inclusive and safe workplace. It joined two groups aimed at increasing representation and racial equity, including the McDonald’s Mutual Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, which旨在消除少数族裔经济机会的障碍。Mickelson said members of the company’s leadership team have been through unconscious bias training, which he said is being expanded to the rest of the company.
种族股权审核旨在向投资者提供社会和财务信息about a company's operations, according to a post on Harvard Law School forum about corporate governance.
星巴克在2018年进行了类似的审核，此前两名黑人在费城地点被捕，同时等待商务会议。审核后，该公司对员工进行了隐性偏见培训，并设定了招聘的多样性目标。论坛邮报的作者说，这些行动帮助公司与投资者康复。
