LISTEN: Butterball to Close Arkansas Plant

  • Summary

  • According to estimates, Americans eat 46 million turkeys each year on Thanksgiving alone – about a fifth of the birds raised annually.

    But less than a week after the holiday wrapped this year, Butterball held a town hall meeting at its Jonesboro, Arkansas facility – and it wasn’t to celebrate.

    According to recent reports, Butterball announced on December 4th that it would be closing its Jonesboro facility, and laying off its 180 workers.

    Butterball completed a WARN filing in response to the scenario, and says the workers will receive compensation and medical benefits if they continue to work until their “end-of-service” date.
