3,800 workers strike at JBS USA meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado
About 3,800 workers at the Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado went on strike Monday morning, marking the first walkout at a U.S. beef slaughterhouse since the 1980s according to union representatives. The strike follows accusations that JBS USA retaliated against workers and committed unfair labor practices during contract negotiations. The company says it will continue operating with two shifts and move production to other facilities as needed.
