Smithfield workers return to slaughtering plant – North Carolina

Tagged:

“Employees at a Smithfield Foods Inc. slaughtering plant returned to work Saturday after walking off their jobs the previous two days to protest the recent firing of immigrants.

In all, about 1,000 nonunion workers, mostly Hispanic, participated in the walkout, and company officials have said they won’t be disciplined. The agreement to return to work came late Friday after Smithfield representatives met with leaders from a Roman Catholic Church to discuss the workers’ grievances.”
