ST. PAUL — When state lawmakers introduced new proposed legislation Wednesday morning that would improve safety in meat and poultry processing plants, local JBS union members were among the first to add their support.
"Meatpacking is one of the most dangerous industries," said United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 663 president Matt Utecht at the Wednesday press conference. "The state of Minnesota must do a better job for workers, and this legislation is a start to that."
