JBS facility set to resume normal operations after reaching new labor agreement with UFCW

The JBS beef production facility is set to return to normal operations after workers and management reached a new two-year collective bargaining agreement.

According to the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, the agreement secures wage increases, defends workers against increases in healthcare costs, and protects workers from having to pay for personal protective equipment. 

JBS says the agreement, which runs through April 2028, reflects the same economic framework presented in its Last, Best, and Final offer.  The company says it is pleased that an agreement has finally been reached.  JBS says it is disappointed that the UFCW Local 7 leadership chose to eliminate the historic pension benefit that was part of the national agreement negotiated last year in partnership with the UFCW International. 

UFCW Local 7 represents nearly 3,800 workers at JBS’s flagship beef processing facility in Greeley, Colorado.
