JBS workers in Michigan plant approve union contract
Last night, workers at the JBS slaughterhouse and production facility, located just south of the city of Plainwell, ratified their first union contract ending the workers' nine-month campaign for union representation by the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 951.
In October 2011, JBS workers elected union representation in an effort to improve their working conditions, authorizing UFCW 951 to represent them in contract negotiations with their employer.
