Federal mediator in Cedar Rapids Cargill strike talks
A federal mediator aims to reunite Cargill Cedar Rapids corn milling plant workers and company reps this afternoon after union Local 238 and striking employees meet with a mediator. The union seeks wage increases aligning with industry standards. Cargill says it is willing to meet and remains optimistic. Nearly 100 workers began the walkout Oct 1 over pay and market adjustments amid four profitable years, with a rally planned Thursday to press for fair wages and cost of living adjustments.
