Whole Foods to buy beef from feedlot despite labor conflict
Oregonlive.com
Whole Foods Markets says it will continue to buy Country Natural Beef finished at a Boardman feedlot, despite a labor dispute between feedlot owners and the United Farm Workers, the Oregonian newspaper reports.
It reverses Whole Foods’ earlier stand against buying cattle finished at Beef Northwest until the labor dispute was resolved.
The United Farm Workers has tried for more than a year to organize 80 workers at Beef Northwest, the state’s largest feedlot.
