Kellogg's workers might finally get some answers
Kellogg workers union has been on a strike for nearly two months now. Kellogg's workers from facilities in Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennesee went on strike on October 5th after their contracts expired. They were protesting multiple things includes wage raises, better benefits, and the company's two-tier employment system. The negotiations were stalled due to differences between the company executives and 1,400 union workers.
On Thursday the company and the union reached an agreement to settle on a five-year contract for its employees bringing the strike to an end. The contract contains many clauses regarding wages, benefits, and better deals for temporary workers. Prior to this, Kellogg had a two-tier system that did not offer temporary workers a pathway to becoming permanent staff. Temporary workers make up 30 percent of the company's total workforce. The contract extends to employees at a few breakfast cereal plants in America. The new contract allows temporary workers with over four years of service to move to permanent positions with better pay and benefits. The employees will vote on the new deal on December 5th. It also includes better post-retirement benefits for permanent employees. Kellogg's is one name among the long list of employers who have faced employee strikes during recent times. A few weeks back farm-equipment maker Deere reached an agreement with workers after a six-week strike. Employees from different career paths including film production crews are going on strike demanding better terms of employment.
