GREELEY, Colo. — Thousands of striking workers at the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley will return to work next week without a new agreement in place.

JBS said in a news release on Saturday that it has received formal notification from United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 7 that it is ending its strike and has made an unconditional offer for employees to return to work on Tuesday.

"This decision by the union comes without any new agreement or change to company’s original offer," the release said. "Throughout this process, we have remained committed to good-faith negotiations and to operating our facility safely, responsibly, and in compliance with all regulatory standards."

JBS said its "Last, Best and Final offer" remains on the table. The company said its proposal includes "meaningful" wage increases, a pension and other benefits designed to support employees and their families.

Stopping their strike, going back to work unconditionally, with no new agreement in place. What am I missing?

It may be just a strategy to keep them from hiring all replacement workers.
