The United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) has urged federal, state, and local authorities to investigate JBS SA’s meat processing plant in Greeley, Colorado, for alleged human trafficking violations involving Haitian migrants. Similar accusations have been made regarding human trafficking networks exploiting migrants at factories in Springfield, Ohio, and Charleroi, Pennsylvania.
UFCW Local 7 President Kim Cordova said these Haitians and other foreigners came into the country legally and were quickly exploited for cheap labor in a possible human migrant trafficking scheme.
Here are more shocking revelations from the union:
Information gathered from UFCW Local 7 members who work at the JBS plant in Greeley, outlined in detail below, includes numerous cases of abusive practices both within and outside of the workplace, including management-led human trafficking utilizing the social media platform TikTok; charging immigrant workers for company-provided rent in squalor conditions, job applications, and transportation; threats and intimidation against workers and their families abroad; dangerously high production line speeds; and withholding mail including medical bills and important paperwork.

UFCW explained, “As many as 500 or more Haitian and Benin workers, who are in the country legally through work visas or asylum, may have been subject to potential crimes and workplace violations. ”
“The company knew about these tactics – and in fact paid for workers to live in squalor conditions at a local motel – and turned a blind eye until they were questioned by the press,” said Cordova, adding, “One of the main individuals involved in this terrible treatment is still employed by JBS.”
The union explained that numerous hiring managers outside the company were involved in the scheme. In other words, staffing companies likely served as labor mules, trafficking these migrants from their homes, stuffed in like cattle, to factories in vans.
JBS’ Greeley plant is located just an hour from the sanctuary city of Denver, run by far-left Democrats.
In recent weeks, we informed readers that the story in Springfield, Ohio, and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, was not about claims about Haitians eating cats and dogs. Instead, about the numerous reports we received claiming labor mules (staffing companies) were exploiting Haitian migrants….
