Thousands of workers for the world’s largest meatpacking company have gone on strike. The dispute could make already costly beef even more expensive for U.S. consumers if it drags on.

    JBS and the meat industry as a whole are not only horrible towards farm animals, but are also far worse for workers than most people realize. There are multiple human rights watch reports about working conditions

    And unfortunately this is not just limited to the US (though it is worse in the US)
