Striking JBS workers to return to Colorado plant on promise of talks

Workers at JBS's Greely, Colorado beef plant agreed to return after JBS resumed negotiations, ending a three-week picket. The resolution removes a local production disruption at the world's largest meatpacker and should restore plant output, moderating near-term beef supply risk. Expect a modest positive effect on JBS operations and limited broader market impact.
