	Tyson Foods Sees Higher Meat Prices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Tyson Foods Inc., the world's largest meat processor, warned Monday that rising corn prices could mean U.S. consumers will have to pay more for chicken, beef and pork next year as it ended its fiscal year with a third straight quarterly loss.
		Tyson is pursuing joint ventures in South America and China and creating a renewable energy division to generate new revenue sources, it said in a statement.
		Tyson said the loss for the quarter ended Sept. 30 was $56 million, or 17 cents per share, compared with a profit of $117 million, or 33 cents per share, during the same period a year earlier.

	Plaintiffs, v. TYSON FOODS, INC. a Corporation
		Tyson perpetrates the Illegal Immigrant Hiring Scheme through a complex and highly disciplined network of recruiters and temporary employment agencies, which obtain illegal immigrants, and perform additional services to facilitate their illegal employment by Tyson including transporting them to the U.S., obtaining housing in the U.S., and manufacturing and/or falsifying identification documents.
		Tyson instructs its recruiters and temporary employment services to coach illegal immigrant workers to: (i) deny, if asked, that they have been smuggled into the U.S.; and (ii) credibly present verification documents to Tyson which both the recruiters and Tyson know are falsified, all in an elaborate scheme to hide the illegal employment activity.
		Tyson could not successfully conduct the Illegal Immigrant Hiring Scheme without this enterprise, and its success in executing the Scheme for several years is the result of the discipline and single-mindedness it brings to this disparate group scattered throughout the country.
