Gabe Evans Told the Union He Would Stand With 3,800 Striking Meatpackers. A Month Earlier He Had Cashed a $5,000 Check From the Company.
On March 23, Gabe Evans phoned the president of UFCW Local 7 and promised to stand with striking JBS workers in Greeley. He never walked the picket line, never sent the letter they asked for, and said nothing publicly for three weeks. FEC records show JBS's PAC gave him $5,000 on February 23.
