Episode Details

Mission Foods is permanently shutting down its Pueblo plant after 27 years, with the last production day August 14 and full closure October 13. The company promises continued pay and benefits for the 90 affected workers and directs them to job openings within the company, while keeping distribution centers open locally. However, UFCW Local Seven criticizes the move as poorly handled, citing long-term underinvestment and profit over people, calling it a devastating blow to both workers and the community. The union is stepping in to help affected employees transition, partnering with local groups to ensure support and resources.
