More than 3,000 workers on strike at the JBS-owned Swift Beef Company plant in Greeley
Union organizers have said that the strike marks the first walkout at a beef slaughterhouse in the U.S. since the 1980s. In early February, 99% of the union voted to authorize the strike, following months of negotiations between union representatives and JBS. Rocky Mountain PBS reports that the strike could drive up beef prices. Last year, the U.S. cattle population hit a 75-year low and beef prices rose 11% to 25%, depending on the cut. JBS is standing by its current offer, stating that it is consistent with the historic national contract reached in 2025 in partnership with UFCW International.
