Nearly 1,000 workers at Cargill’s beef processing plant in Guelph were on strike at the end of May, and there’s a possibility that workers at the Cargill Case Ready plant in Calgary could also hit the picket lines.

“I think the possibility of a strike at the Cargill Case Ready plant is very, very real,” said Chris O’Halloran, executive director of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 401 that represents workers at the Calgary plant.
