Summary
Fortrex, a contractor that cleans several Tyson Foods facilities, notified the Nebraska Department of Labor that its contract at the Tyson Fresh Meats pork plant in Madison, NE, is being discontinued, and Fortrex will cease services at that plant effective September 19, 2026. As a result, Fortrex said the change will result in the layoff or relocation of all eligible Fortrex team members at the Madison plant, totaling 91 jobs. The company noted it had held the contract since November 2001 and previously laid off 139 workers earlier in 2026 after losing a contract at Tyson's Lexington beef plant. Tyson said ending the Fortrex contract does not reflect cutbacks among Tyson Foods team members and the Madison facility remains operational.
Fortrex cut 91 jobs in NE as of September 19, 2026.
