Show Notes
Thousands of meatpacking workers at JBS plant in Greeley, Colorado, strike for higher wages and better safety protections. Union members accuse JBS of unfair practices and low pay offers, while JBS denies these claims. The plant handles 6-8% of U.S. beef production, and experts doubt grocery prices will significantly increase. Senator Hickenlooper supports the workers, urging both sides to return to bargaining. The company faces a history of labor issues, including a recent lawsuit from Haitian workers over injuries and discrimination.
