"Workers at the Archer Heights tortilla factory filed a retaliation complaint with the NLRB alleging they were threatened with layoffs in response to ongoing protests that date back to 2022. Organized by a local faith-based worker-rights group, employees say the threats are part of a pattern of mistreatment that includes abusive managers, low pay, and insufficient legally mandated breaks; the company operates multiple plants and makes popular supermarket brands such as El Ranchero and La Guadalupana." - Ashok Selvam
"The parent company of the corn-chip brand operates multiple plants on the Southwest Side (two in Archer Heights and another in Brighton Park) and has faced organizing drives centered on complaints of low pay, insufficient breaks and abusive managers; at least three employees involved in organizing were fired, according to reporting. A pro-labor group has pressed the company with rallies and media events, while company leadership issued a statement citing an open-door policy and denying that improvements were the result of organizing." - Ashok Selvam
