Beef Walkout

Union workers went on strike yesterday at one of the US’ largest meatpacking plants. Roughly 3,800 workers walked out of the Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado. At issue for employees are allegations of retaliation and unfair labor practices. That includes claims Swift’s parent company, JBS USA, charged workers at least $1,100 for personal protective equipment. Almost all workers (99% per the union’s local president) voted to authorize this week’s strike. The union alleges the company refused to negotiate in the lead-up to Sunday’s contract deadline. The strike comes as meat prices rise and the country’s cattle population is at a 75-year low. The walkout is the first of its kind since the 1985-86 strike at Minnesota's Hormel plant. That strike lasted for over a year and involved violent clashes, with only 20% of employees getting their jobs back. See history here.
