In a 2017 interview, Tyson Foods CEO Tom Hayes stated that the company had "the right number of workers" needed to staff its plants and expressed satisfaction with its workforce. Hayes noted that Tyson Foods had been "working with the government all along" on employment verification, including using E-Verify and participating in the IMAGE program with ICE, and said the company paid "well above minimum wage" to attract talent. Regarding U.S. immigration policy, Hayes said the company was focused on helping its diverse workforce understand potential changes and acting as a "sounding board." On the proposed border adjustment tax, Hayes said it "could be very helpful" for Tyson Foods by making its products more competitive internationally, though he added that the outcome would depend on the strength of the dollar and other economic factors.
