In an increasingly competitive poultry processing landscape Tyson Foods announced a minimum hourly pay raise to $10 at 51 of its chicken processing plants across the country, effective Nov. 1. The pay increase range from 11% to 25% based on the $8 and $9 starting pay the company has in place. The Springdale-based meat giant said the rate in beginning pay will raise its hourly average to more than $12.
