StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEUFCW Local 7 says 3,800 at JBS’s Greeley plant strike over pay and health care as company reroutes production
Thousands of workers at JBS USA’s Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado, are extending their strike into a third week to seek higher wages and better health care. United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, which represents 3,800 employees, said talks have stalled; JBS said it is running the facility at limited capacity and shifting production to other plants. It is the first strike at a U.S. slaughterhouse since 1985. Industry experts said it is too soon to know effects on retail beef prices, while Colorado State University’s Jennifer Martin said reduced slaughter capacity, including the Greeley stoppage, could lift industry profit margins.
Related labor actions are unfolding across food and service. In Omaha, Teamsters Local 554 remain on strike against Premier Midwest Beer and Beverage over wages and benefits; the company has cited beer-industry declines and called for a quick resolution. In Arizona, Arizona State University dining hall workers walked out this week over safety concerns tied to extreme heat, and in Montreal, blue-collar municipal employees announced a three-day strike in April. Together, these actions span food production, distribution and service across multiple states and Canada.
Food-related labor actions—in meatpacking, beverage distribution, and campus dining—are occurring concurrently across multiple U.S. states.
