“The company walked away,” Cordova told the crowd of more than 800 workers from the day shift picket lines. “They believed that you would not walk out on strike.”

But of the 3,800 workers in the plant represented by the union, 94% did walk on March 16, marking the first major packinghouse strike in 40 years.[1]

The workers’ action had an impact, according to the union. About 60% of the cattle earmarked for JBS went to competitors as the company tried to operate with the remaining hourly workforce and supervisors.

“The problem is the way we are being treated,” Hector Vargas told World-Outlook before the April 3 union meeting at the parking lot. “To keep up with work means taking a beating. And you cannot go to the bathroom. They make you wait a long time — if they let you go.”

One World, One Struggle

The Global May Day campaign aim to build an international solidarity each 1st of may

The Global May Day is a project for (grassroot) labour unions and initiatives supporting labour struggles. Besides the focus on common coordinations for the annual May Day, the Global May Day infrastructure helps to put groups and individuals in contact so that they can share information as well as resources and initiate Solidarity Partnerships. Local self-organisation is encouraged as much as possible. The Global May Day platform seeks to enable local and regional structures to share successful practices and inspiring ideas.

After the largest Co-op member uprising in REI’s history, REI’s new CEO, Mary Beth Laughton, “promised to return the Co-op to its roots.”

She lied.

That’s why REI Union workers and Co-op members are voting to boycott REI during their 2026 Anniversary Sale. Union workers voted overwhelmingly to approve this boycott.
