New contract approved: Nabisco workers end strike
Nabisco workers ended their weekslong strike in 5 states as their union announced that they approved a 4-year contract with the parent company. The employees on strike were the members from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union and had raised issues and changes to Mondelez International, Nabisco's owner. Major changes proposed were regarding shift lengths and overtime pay rules. The strike also attracted some attention to Nabisco as it faced criticism about its long shifts, pensions and moving production of some products to Mexico.
The union's president on Saturday said in a statement that the strike has been long and difficult for all the workers and their families and throughout the strike, members displayed tremendous courage, grit and determination. Mondelez posted an update on their website saying that all striking members will return to work this week. The website also had a mention of the new agreement with the employees. Mondelez said that the agreement was retroactive to 1st March of this year and included 'increases each year of the contract, increased company match to 401(k) contributions and updates to certain workplace policies.'
