PITTSBURG, Texas (April 13, 2009)--Financially strapped Pilgrim's Pride announced Monday it will close a chicken processing plant in Dalton, Ga. That employs 280 people within 60 days.
The work will be consolidated at a Pilgrim's Pride plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Pilgrim's Pride filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December and is in the process of reorganizing.
The company's hatchery in Cohutta, Ga., will stay open but as part of the Chattanooga complex or other nearby operations.
About 120 independent contract growers who supply to the Dalton plant will be transitioned to the Chattanooga plant or other nearby plants within about 90 days.
Pilgrim’s Pride has a processed products plant in Waco that employs several hundred workers.

It is sad to say, but the plant in Waco will be closing soon.
Perhaps all the newly unemployed illegals will head back across the border? Yeah, I know, wishful thinking.
only thing left to do is thank G.W BUSH
