Pilgrim's Pride has announced plans to shut down their chicken processing
plant in Dalton within 60 days.
President Don Jackson says the move is aimed at reducing costs and operating more efficiently.

Here we can exchange information, ideas and questions to help us improve the manufacturing process. We must reduce variation and standardize our work to produce the best quality possible.
