StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEUFCW Local 7 leads 3,800-person walkout at Swift Beef in Greeley, the first U.S. beef slaughterhouse strike since the 1980s
About 3,800 workers at the Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado, went on strike Monday, in what union representatives said is the first walkout at a U.S. beef slaughterhouse since the 1980s. United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 says the action follows allegations that owner JBS USA retaliated against workers and committed other unfair labor practices during contract negotiations after the previous agreement expired Sunday. The union says members seek wage increases, improved healthcare, and an end to charges it says many workers paid—at least $1,100—to offset personal protective equipment costs.
Union officials said 99% of workers authorized the strike and alleged the company held one-on-one meetings urging employees to quit the union. The action comes as the U.S. cattle population is at a 75-year low—86.2 million as of January 1, down 1% year over year—while beef prices have added to economic anxiety. It also follows the January closure of a meatpacking plant in Lexington, Nebraska. No formal negotiations took place over the weekend after the company refused a union request to meet on Saturday, according to the union.
The walkout coincides with a 75-year low in U.S. cattle inventories and a recent Nebraska plant closure, two developments affecting the beef supply chain.
