Following up on the recent success, provided by adding Monticello workers, Tyson Foods Pine Bluff facility, which has been providing a bus for up to 35 Monticello employees to ride back and forth to work at Tyson’s Pine Bluff Jefferson Parkway plant, is making arrangements to add another bus route to Monticello.

The company has been conducting interviews recently, and has asked permission to add a 2nd bus to transport employees, potentially providing a total of 70 Pine Bluff jobs to Drew County workers.

Tyson to Hire 25 From Monticello

Tyson is finalizing plans to employ approximately 25 Monticello/Drew County residents to work second shift in the chicken deboning area at their Pine Bluff plant.

The hiring process will be done through the Monticello Workforce Office, and the employees will be working this month.

Plans are for Tyson to provide a bus to pick up the workers with a bus, at the Monticello tomato shed, which has rights to it’s use leased to the MEDC, (who approved the required document Wednesday), during the afternoon, and return them to their vehicles during the early morning.

Tyson’s Jefferson Parkway management wants to compliment MEDC’s Truman Hamilton, and Mayor Joe Rogers for making this opportunity take place so quickly.
