JBS workers authorize a strike at one of the largest meat facilities in the country
https://www.cpr.org/2026/02/05/jbs-meatpacking-workers-authorize-strike/
Workers at the JBS meat processing plant in Greeley voted to authorize a strike that could start “soon” if JBS doesn’t return to the negotiation table, according to union leaders who said a strike at the facility would be unprecedented.
The threatened labor action against one of the largest meat facilities in the U.S. is part of a regular cycle of the union fighting with JBS that reoccurs every few years.
“I think that they're a horrible employer,” said Kim Cordova, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7. “They don't treat workers as stakeholders in their company. This is a very vulnerable group of workers.”
Cordova claimed that JBS has violated labor law by intimidating workers and conducting “regressive bargaining,” taking away or reducing previous offers. The union has filed multiple unfair labor practices charges against JBS.
