Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Sen Fischer is right on the nose with her response to the Tyson Foods plant closure in Lexington. The rest of our delegation and our not sober governor seem to not grasp how freaking devastating this will be to this Nebraska community. #NESen

Also, if anyone says we are getting $2,000 from the tariff "surplus" that it's real either. #TMYKYK

We're less than a month away from the open enrollment deadline, and families across the metro are experiencing sticker shock when seeing their premium increases. It's time for Congress to permanently extend tax credits to make healthcare more affordable. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02

Republicans in Congress should stop raising our costs. They need to make the health care tax credits permanent, stop their cuts to food assistance, and lower energy costs.

Prices are skyrocketing and many will confront sticker shock when they log in. Small business owners, farmers and those that cannot afford employer health plans all use the marketplace to access insurance. From today's @OWHnews 👇
