About 3,800 workers for the world’s largest meatpacking company began striking Monday. If they don’t get a new contract soon, already costly beef could become even more expensive for U.S. consumers. The walkout at the Swift Beef Co. plant in Greeley, Colorado, comes after the union said 99% of the workers voted to authorize the strike, seeking higher wages and better health care. Swift Beef owner JBS USA says it complies with labor and employment laws and any employee who doesn’t strike will have work and be paid. Union officials say the company's offer of 2% wage hikes is less than inflation. The company says its offer is fair.

Malaysian authorities say a renewed deep-sea search in the southern Indian Ocean has failed so far to find Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, twelve years after it disappeared. The Air Accident Investigation Bureau said Sunday that a seabed search conducted by marine robotics company Ocean Infinity between March 2025 and January 2026 surveyed thousands of square kilometers of ocean floor but has not produced any confirmed findings of the aircraft wreckage. Malaysia approved the hunt last year under a no-find, no-fee deal. The company gets paid only if it finds debris. Voice 370, a family advocacy group, is urging Malaysia to extend Ocean Infinity's contract, which runs until June.
