Thousands of JBS Workers Strike at Major Meatpacking Facility in Colorado

Around 3,800 workers at one of the largest meatpacking plants in the U.S., located in Greeley, Colorado, have initiated a strike, marking the first major labor dispute in the meat industry in 40 years. The employees, including many migrants, are demanding better working conditions, higher wages, and healthcare benefits, while accusing the company of unfair labor practices and unsafe work environments. This unprecedented strike raises concerns about potential disruptions to the beef supply chain and market volatility, particularly as meat prices for consumers remain high.
