After Three-Week Strike, JBS Concedes to Meatpacking Workers

Last month, 3,800 meatpacking workers in UFCW Local 7 in Greeley, Colorado launched the industry’s first major strike in 40 years. The three-week unfair labor practice strike was the first time workers had ever struck the JBS Greeley beef packing plant, one of the company’s largest. ULP charges against JBS included the illegal termination of a member of the bargaining committee and surveillance and intimidation of workers for participation in union activity.

The other thing that made me less than happy was in the email I mentioned. They explicitly said that the water surplus was largely thanks to their planning.

I don’t think anyone could have predicted this winter was going to be this bad. Seems more attributable to sheer dumb luck, rather than this city being smarter than sister cities.

A good portion of Colorado is already in drought conditions due to a very small snowpack and limited snowfall and cold temperatures.

My city of Greeley is being tone-deaf. Yesterday they sent an email to residents proclaiming that we're just fine with water reserves, including due to grandfathered and upstream water rights, but it's ok to practice conservation. And just now in the local newspaper, it was announced that Cirque Italia is doing a 4 day show here that features water...35,000 gallons of it.

Kind of a slap in the face for people who conserve or have to conserve, like the Denver metro area in stage 1 water restriction level.

Or am I being too sensitive?

Immigrant Workers in Colorado Lead “Historic Strike” at JBS, Largest U.S. Meat Processor

More than 3,000 meatpacking workers in Greeley, Colorado, have been on strike since mid-March, the first major labor strike in the U.S. meatpacking industry since 1985. Workers at JBS USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Brazilian-based multinational JBS, are protesting unfair and dangerous labor conditions, including low wages, lack of personal protective gear and discrimination against its majority-immigrant workforce. “This company is one of the richest companies in the world, and the wage increases that they’re offering simply just don’t keep up with the economy and the high cost of living,” says Kim Cordova, president of the union that represents JBS workers in Greeley. “These workers literally feed America,” adds organizer Caitlyn Clark, director at the labor rights nonprofit Essential Workers for Democracy. “This is really a historic strike. These workers are standing up not just for their own plant, but the meatpacking industry as a whole.”

3,800 workers and Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 union members at JBS beef processing plant in #Greeley, Colorado, walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike on March 16. This is the first strike ever at the Greeley plant—one of the largest in the country—and it’s the biggest meatpacking strike in the US since the 1985-86 strike at the Hormel plant in Austin, Minnesota.

Immigrant workers launch largest US meatpacking strike in 40 years

“Workers are fighting to be able to afford the same food that they produce for the rest of the country, to be able to buy beef at the grocery store and not have to buy Top Ramen.”

In 57 Languages, Meatpackers Strike for the First Time in 40 Years

In less than a quarter-mile stretch of sidewalk, chatter in 57 languages overlaps with the sound of dancehall, bachata, Thai pop, Haitian kompa, and Micronesian hip-hop. At sunset, dozens gather for iftar, breaking their Ramadan fast; the music, pulsing from boomboxes and cell phones held up to megaphones, swells into one shared hum. In this sliver of land across from the sprawling JBS beef processing plant—among the largest in the country—workers from around the world have united in the largest U.S. meatpacking strike in 40 years.
