Stunning.

The first walk-out of a U.S. slaughterhouse in over 40 years.

99% of workers voted to go on strike from the JBS facility, so it looks like 3,800 people are throwing sand into the gears. Doing some of the most dangerous work you can find, I’m confident they deserve better than JBS has been offering in compensation.

3,800 workers are on strike at a massive U.S. meatpacking plant. They want higher wages and better healthcare

Union officials say the company charges many workers more than $1,000 each to pay for their safety equipment.

Another thing you might do, for multiple reasons, is cut back on beef consumption.
We still need to address our fundamental mindset regarding this planet - seriously considering what Land Back means - but as we go it would be huge if major beef consumers switch at least a portion of their diet to other meats and plant protein. Maybe tell JBS why you are.
