Hormel’s flagship plant has hired all the workers it needs, company officials said in Austin, Minn., one month after the factory reopened for the first time since a strike by meatpackers began six months ago. Although violence had flared outside the Geo. A. Hormel & Co. plant in recent weeks, three strikers peacefully picketed each gate Wednesday as workers entered.
