Animal-rights activists have a vigil set for Wednesday outside the Farmer John slaughterhouse in Vernon for the thousands of pigs killed at the facility for food despite plans for the plant to close in early 2023.
Company officials said they are providing “transition assistance” to employees at the plant, including “relocation options” to other Smithfield facilities and farms. “The planned closure of the Farmer John plant in Vernon will have an impact on the economy and workers in Southeast LA County,” Hahn said in a statement Friday. “I will do everything I can to get County resources to Farmer John employees to help them with the job training and assistance they need to get new good-paying jobs.”
A union spokeswoman told City News Service that there are roughly 1,500 UFCW workers at the plant, with other workers represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Union of Operating Engineers.
