Tyson not liable for “donning and doffing” pay at Lexington, NE plant

Posted on by

A Nebraska jury decided yesterday that Tyson did not wrongfully withhold pay from its workers for time putting on and taking off safety gear at its Lexington, NE plant. The suit against Tyson’s Lexington, NE plant is one of many against Tyson and the meatpacking industry in general for pay for time putting on and taking off gear.  There is currently a suit involving Tyson’s Madison, NE plant pending trial.
