Labor

Independent, UK -  Thousands of workers at one of the nation's largest meatpacking plants are extending their strike into a third week, demanding higher wages and improved healthcare.

Experts say it is too early to know if the walkout, which began on 16 March at the Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado, will impact beef prices for shoppers.

JBS USA, the plant's owner, said Friday it is operating at limited capacity, shifting beef production elsewhere to meet customer needs.
