Workers Plan Colorado Meatpacking Strike as Labor Actions Spread

Colorado JBS workers set Monday walkout after talks falter, as Portland college staff, AAJCollective, and BHP crews advance actions

Workers at the JBS meat processing facility in Greeley, Colorado plan to strike on Monday, March 16, after failing to reach a labor agreement. Employees say the planned walkout follows unresolved safety concerns and stalled negotiations, with reports indicating preparations for a work stoppage at the plant.

In Oregon, both faculty and classified staff at Portland Community College say they will strike Wednesday morning, marking the first strike in PCC history. In Washington, members of AAJCollective walked off the job today in a one-day strike running until midnight amid a 1.5-year push for a first contract focused on wages. In Australia’s Pilbara, the Electrical Trades Union has applied for protected action ballot orders for about 60 BHP high-voltage workers central to power at mine sites and camps, moving toward possible industrial action. In Canada, Unifor members at Community Living Dryden–Sioux Lookout ratified three-year agreements and averted a strike after a 100 percent strike mandate last month, underscoring simultaneous developments across food processing, education, non-profit, and mining in three countries.

Key Insight

Concurrent labor actions in the United States, Australia, and Canada span food processing, education, non-profit, and mining, indicating heightened cross-sector bargaining activity.
