Union workers at one of the country’s largest beef processing plants have ratified a new two-year contract. The strike at the JBS plant in Greeley, Colorado, lasted three weeks, ending nearly a week ago when both sides agreed to return to the table. The tentative contract includes an increase in wages and protection from higher health care costs. This was the first strike at a U.S. meatpacking plant since the 1985 strike at the Hormel pork plant in Austin, Minnesota.
