Foster Farms meatpacking workers vote to strike at California facility On July 18 workers at the Foster Farms chicken processing plant in Compton, California voted down a contract proposal by the company that would have slashed their health care benefits. The last contract for the 250 workers at the plant, many of whom are paid the hourly minimum wage for Los Angeles County of $15.00 per hour, expired last year, but had been extended by the Teamsters union.

There is a permanently placed sign on the front of the plant offering jobs, suggesting a large turnover.
