Workers at a beef plant operated by JBS in Greeley, Colorado, have returned to work after the company agreed to resume negotiations, ending a three-week strike.

Reported by Reuters, the union representing around 3,800 employees said talks will take place on April 9 and 10. The strike focused on wage demands linked to inflation and opposition to charges for replacing protective equipment.

Union president Kim Cordova said workers remain united in seeking improved terms, while JBS stated there has been no change to its offer but confirmed plans to restart and ramp up production.

The dispute comes amid tight US cattle supply and high beef prices and follows capacity reductions by Tyson Foods.
