NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — Unionized workers at a JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado, have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike after more than eight months of contract negotiations.
UFCW says 99 percent of voting members approved the measure, though no strike date has been set. The union alleges unfair labor practices during negotiations, while JBS says it has bargained in good faith and offered wage increases, pension benefits, and improved compensation aligned with national agreements.
