About 3,800 workers at a JBS beef processing plant in Greeley, Colorado announced plans to strike beginning March 16 if contract negotiations fail. The workers, many of whom are immigrants, are demanding improved wages and working conditions as beef prices hit record highs and the company continues to report strong profits. A strike at the facility could disrupt production at one of the largest beef plants in the United States and affect the national meat supply.
