"This is because Greeley is home to one of the largest slaughterhouses in the country and it's the town's biggest company. The JBS slaughterhouse there kills more cows per month than there are residents in the town. The company has close ties to the Trump administration and has a dicey record when it comes to food safety recalls and labor law violations, including hiring more than 100 children to clean dangerous equipment like bone saws as recently as 2023."
"The company has close ties to the Trump administration and has a dicey record when it comes to food safety recalls and labor law violations, including hiring more than 100 children to clean dangerous equipment like bone saws as recently as 2023. To say Greeley is a company town is quite an understatement. However, Mayor Wilson thinks we should hand the keys to our city over to a guy who comes from this nightmare of a Podunk town?"
Greeley, Colorado is home to one of the country's largest slaughterhouses, operated by JBS, which serves as the town's biggest employer. The JBS plant processes more cows per month than there are residents in the town. JBS maintains close ties to the Trump administration and has a troubled record on food safety recalls and labor law violations. The company reportedly hired more than 100 children to clean dangerous equipment such as bone saws as recently as 2023. Greeley functions effectively as a company town dominated by the slaughterhouse, raising skepticism about leadership connected to that background.
