JBS Greeley Strike Resolved After Three Weeks
JBS USA has agreed a new labour contract with workers at its Greeley, Colorado beef processing facility, bringing to an end a strike that lasted approximately three weeks. The deal was ratified by the union, according to KUSA, a local Denver-area television station.
The contract delivers wage increases for workers at the plant, which is one of the largest beef processing facilities in the United States. However, the agreement eliminates the existing pension provision, a concession that will shape the longer-term compensation picture for affected employees, according to the Greeley Tribune.
The Greeley plant is a significant node in JBS USA's North American beef operations. Any prolonged disruption at the facility carries implications for regional beef supply and processing capacity. The three-week duration of the strike will have reduced throughput during that period, though JBS has not publicly quantified the operational impact.
JBS USA is the American subsidiary of JBS S.A., the Brazilian-headquartered company that is the world's largest protein producer by revenue. The parent company's shares trade in São Paulo under the ticker JBSS3, and the company has a secondary listing structure through its US operations.
