United Food & Commercial Workers Union Local 789
Packinghouse Workers Vote for Union at Minnesota Beef Industries
-It is time to sit down and bargain fairly-
On Friday, September 24, 2004, a majority of the workers at MN Beef Industries voted for Union Representation at the Buffalo Lake facility. The vote count was 53 to 46. This was the second election at the plant with an earlier one being rerun because of less than laboratory conditions in the previous election.
Jennifer Christensen, Secretary/Treasurer of Local 789 remarked that, "our expectation is that the Company will come to the table and bargain fairly." She went to mention that the citizens of Renville County should have expectations for this employer because of the large public subsidy that his company has received from the City of Buffalo Lake, and the 4,000,000 dollar loan from the State of Minnesota to expand the plant. "The subsidy for the plant was to support good living wage jobs and we hope that can be attained by respecting the rights of the workers, and negotiating in good faith."
Local 789 United Food & Commercial Workers Union represents 7500 workers in retail, meat processing, and healthcare. Their website is located at www.youareworthmore.org
