The union at the plant has rejected this plan and a counter-proposal is expected in early September. The proposal was presented at a hearing before Uruguay's labor ministry, but the ministry has not ruled or mediated. The union's position is clear: they will not accept the 150 dismissals. The dispute is backed by FOICA, the national meat industry workers' federation.",
