MT Newswires Live04-06 18:04

JBS (JBS) workers at its Swift beef plant in Colorado will return to work as the company agreed to resume contract negotiations, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7 union said Saturday.

The three-week strike will end Tuesday and contract negotiations will resume Thursday and Friday.

"Workers remain united and will continue to fight until JBS fully ends its unfair labor practices and gives workers a contract offer that protects them, shows workers the respect they deserve, and pays them a livable wage," UFCW Local 7 President Kim Cordova said.

JBS didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

The company's shares were up 1.4% in premarket activity Monday.
