Glacier FarmMedia—Striking workers at Cargill’s Dunlop beef processing plant in Guelph have a recommended memorandum of settlement in place and they will vote on the possible deal on Saturday.

Beef Farmers of Ontario said on X that it is “encouraged by positive contract discussions at the Cargill, Guelph plant”.

Almost 1,000 members of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 175 went on strike on May 27.

The strike has been stressful for beef farmers as beef cattle have had to be marketed further afield.

Governments recently announced measures to help beef farmers manage the situation.
