About 470 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 538 went on strike in February to protest Tyson's contract offer that included wage, benefit and pension concessions. Tyson hired replacement workers to continue production at the plant, which makes pepperoni and other processed meat items. 'The contract we're offering is fair and competitive and was offered looking at the landscape over the next four years with the objective of keeping the plant competitive,' Nicholson said. In Rock County, Supervisor Ivan Collins has introduced a resolution supporting the striking Tyson workers. The measure, which was referred to the county board's staff committee, also asks all Rock County departments to stop buying Tyson products. The full board must approve the resolution. With the strike against Tyson Foods' Jefferson plant stretching past five months, the Jefferson County Board is to vote tonight on whether county agencies should boycott Tyson products to show support for the strikers.
