Cloverdale Foods Company, a meat processor in Mandan, ND, has announced that it is raising its starting wage to $18/hour. It is the second recent wage increase for the processor, as the company announced in August 2020 that it was raising its starting wage to $15/hour.
“Our goal with raising our starting wage is to allow us to remain competitive in our industry in order to recruit and retain the best people to support our long-term growth plans. We have been here for over one hundred years and must adapt with the times to be here for the next hundred,” explained Scott Russell, fourth-generation CEO and President of Cloverdale.
