https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/18/colorado-meatpackers-ratify-new-contract/from #WorldOutlook
April 17, 2026On April 12, 2026, members of United Food and Commercial #Workers (#UFCW) Local 7 ratified a new agreement with the JBS Swift beef processing plant in Greeley, #Colorado. A #union press release announcing the vote — with 93% in favor — said the contract contained "all gains, countless improvements, and not a single concession."
"This ... is a testament to the incredible resolve of our members," said Local 7 president Kim Cordova. "These workers stood together on the picket line for three weeks, through extreme weather, because they knew their worth and refused to be disrespected."

#Colorado #Meatpackers End #Strike, Will Return to Work
https://world-outlook.com/2026/04/06/colorado-meatpackers-end-strike-will-return-to-work/from #WorldOutlook
April 6, 2026“The company walked away,” Cordova told the crowd of more than 800 #workers from the day shift picket lines. “They believed that you would not walk out on strike.”
But of the 3,800 workers in the plant represented by the #union, 94% did walk on March 16, marking the first major packinghouse strike in 40 years.[1]
The workers’ action had an impact, according to the union. About 60% of the cattle earmarked for JBS went to competitors as the company tried to operate with the remaining hourly workforce and supervisors.
“The problem is the way we are being treated,” Hector Vargas told World-Outlook before the April 3 union meeting at the parking lot. “To keep up with work means taking a beating. And you cannot go to the bathroom. They make you wait a long time — if they let you go.”

“A Class in Plain Sight, Treated as If It’s Invisible: The Working Class Today.”
Millions who keep society running are spoken of as stereotypes, if at all. This essay calls out the erasure — and demands we see the people behind the labor.👇

Latest news on Starbucks strike in #USA
[from email sent to supporters on Nov. 20, 2025]Yesterday, we escalated our #UnfairLaborPractice #strike by heading straight to York, Pennsylvania, home to #Starbucks’ biggest East Coast distribution center with a message: If Starbucks won’t meet us at the table, we’ll meet them at their supply chain. We'll keep escalating, or we'll bring the picket line to them.
