JBS Workers Approve Three-Year Contract

Union production workers at the JBS-USA packing plant in Greeley overwhelmingly approved a new three-year contract that raises pay and improves worker benefits, according to a union spokeswoman.

"This deal is all gains for everybody," said Linda Sughroue, a veteran worker at the plant who helped negotiate the new contract. "It's all positive, nothing negative."
