First Load Crosses the Border

I bet they wanted it too.

Just think, they have a workforce that's 60% immigrant, from a country that is as different from Canada as you can get. Break the union, and trust me, this will not be a good place to work.

The last place I want to put the reputation of my cattle is in the hands of a corner cutting, rush 'em through plant, full of low moral workers who will soon come to not care about the quality of their work.

After the past two years, "We can't afford to pay our employees" ain't gonna get much sympathy from us.

Well Tyson/IBP don't like unions. Sort of like Walmart?
The really dumb part of that philosophy is you don't need a union if you treat your people right? There are lots of US companies that don't deal with unions but still have a very productive and happy labor force? A lot of big oil companies come to mind?
However if you treat a person like a dog don't be surprized when he bites you!
