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.

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.

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.

Chuck DarwinAs Donald Trump ramped up his threats against the people he is supposed to be working for,
his administration’s extreme immigration enforcement led Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to admit that anyone
— U.S. citizen or otherwise
— should be prepared to have to prove their citizenship to DHS agents.
Asked Thursday about U.S. citizens being asked to provide proof of citizenship in Minnesota
and whether that is “targeted enforcement,”
Noem said the following:
"In every situation, we’re doing targeted enforcement. If we are on a target and doing an operation, there may be individuals surrounding that criminal that we may be asking who they are and why they’re there and having them validate their identity. That’s what we’ve always done in asking people who they are, so that we know who’s in those surroundings, and if they are breaking our federal laws, we will detain them as well until we run that processing."
Importantly, Noem did not reject the premise of the question or reassure Americans that such a question is ridiculous.
Instead, she merely tried to limit when and under what circumstances it is happening
— and, presumably, will continue to happen
— under her leadership.
But, with a closer look, even that falls apart.
First of all, there is a mountain of evidence that the first sentence of Noem’s statement is a lie.
Ask #Frank #Miranda or #Maria #Greeley,
ask #Jesus #Gutiérrez or #Mubashir,
ask any of the “more than 50 Americans who were held after [immigration] agents questioned their citizenship’ during 2025”
who were identified by Pro Publica.
But, for a moment, let’s set that to the side.
The secretary of Homeland Security on Thursday said that if you are found in the vicinity of a person subject to DHS’s “targeted enforcement” operations,
you are likely to be detained if you cannot prove your citizenship or legal status
— if you cannot prove that to whatever agent might be involved in the operation
