The First Major Meatpacking Strike in 40 Years Extends into Third Week
Update on 4/6: JBS workers have agreed to go back to work and the company is returning to the table, Mother Jones reports.

Workers spoke to Caitlyn Clark, an organizer at Essential Workers for Democracy, and Lisa Xu, a Labor Notes Organizer, who both join the pod this week.
