The Golin/Harris PR firm is helping longtime client Tyson Foods with a new public relations challenge as the company faces an indictment that alleges it conspired to smuggle illegal immigrants across the border to work in its processing plants. Tyson has a history of labor violations, including illegal use of child labor, which led to the death of a 15-year-old boy in 1999 [5].
