JBS Faces Potential Strike at Denver Meatpacking Plant Over Labor Disputes
JBS, a major meat processing company, is facing a potential strike at its Denver meatpacking plant after union members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a walkout. The union, UFCW Local 7, accuses JBS of labor law violations, including bad-faith bargaining and retaliation against union members. The plant, which processes beef and pork, supplies major grocery chains like Kroger. The union has filed multiple unfair labor practice charges, and negotiations have stalled over issues such as safety, work-life balance, and pension benefits.
