Show Notes
Thousands of workers at a Greeley, Colorado beef plant, owned by JBS USA, have been on strike since March 16th, demanding higher wages and improved healthcare benefits. The union, representing mostly workers, rejected a two percent raise offer, citing Colorados high living costs and rising health expenses. With ninety-nine percent of workers supporting the strike, negotiations have stalled, and the union warns it could drag on. Experts suggest the strike might benefit the broader meat industry due to excess capacity at plants. The outcome remains uncertain as both sides dig in.
