CHICAGO (Reuters) - Tyson Foods Inc faces pressure from nuns, the Teamsters union and asset managers to disclose more about its lobbying and human-rights policies, after meatpacking workers were ravaged by COVID-19 last year.
Investors at Tyson s annual meeting on Thursday will vote on shareholder proposals asking the largest U.S. meatpacker by sales to prepare separate reports on political contributions and worker protections. Another shareholder proposal calls for a plan to end a dual-class share structure under which the Tyson family has voting power over about 71% of the company s outstanding stock, according to regulatory filings.
The family s voting power will likely mean the proposals fail, but the meeting to be held after Tyson earnings are released on Thursday highlights widening calls for meat companies to answer for complaints brought about by the pandemic.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Teamsters are praising President Biden s selection of current California Labor Secretary Julie Su as nominee to be the next deputy U.S. Secretary of Labor, saying she has a long record of standing with workers who are being taken advantage of by their employers.
Su has been a friend to the Teamsters in their fight for justice at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Her leadership has led to a crackdown on the misclassification of port truck drivers there, and her work to revamp the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement has changed the culture and made it work much more efficiently and effectively to uphold workers rights.
