Swift replaces workers at Marshalltown plant
Union members plan to return to the Swift Independence Packing Plant in Marshalltown after a wage dispute. Replacement workers faced rock and egg pelting by strikers and 14 were arrested. Police kept watch as replacements left for the 7 am shift. Union says the company hiring replacements sparked the confrontation and urges broader union support. Replacement workers earn 5.60 per hour versus 8.80 for union workers. 311 union members walked off October 2.
