Wilson Foods union talks continue amid bankruptcy filing
Negotiations between United Food and Commercial Workers and Wilson Foods management stretched into Thursday with a second round in Chicago. The union began strike action on June 4 after the company rejected reinstating the contract earlier that year and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Workers saw wages drop from 10.69 to 6.50 per hour with reduced fringe benefits. The company cited contract terms as noncompetitive in pork processing while the union linked losses to commodity futures trading. The first talks occurred last week in Chicago.
