Proposed class-action lawsuit targets JBS
DENVER — A proposed class-action is targeting JBS’ meat-processing plant in Greeley, alleging inhospitable working conditions, injuries and discrimination against Haitian immigrant workers.
According to The Denver Post, the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Denver alleges that JBS responded to a loss of workers during the COVID-19 pandemic by using a TikTok channel to advertise JBS jobs for the immigrants, but that the recruiters jammed as many as 60 people into a house at one time, sometimes without electricity and water, and were denied bathroom breaks at work.
Representatives of JBS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brazil-based JBS S.A., the world’s largest processor of beef and pork with more than $50 billion in annual sales, did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
