1,400 Kellogg's factory workers go on strike

1,400 factory workers at Kellogg's- the maker of breakfast cereals such as Corn Flakes and Rice Crispies- are on strike after yearlong negotiations between their union and the management broke down. In a press release on Tuesday, The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union said that 1,400 of its members in the company's hometown Battle Creek, Michigan and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Omaha and Memphis, hit the picket lines Tuesday morning. The union also mentioned that the workers in these cities produce Rice Krispies, Raisin Bran, Froot Loops, Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes. 

Anthony Shelton, president of the union said, "For more than a year throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Kellogg workers around the country have been working long, hard hours, day in and day out, to produce Kellogg ready-to-eat cereals for American families. The company's response to these employees has been to demand these workers give up retirement benefits, quality healthcare and holiday and vacation pay. He also added that the company has been threatening to send additional jobs to Mexico if workers do not accept their outrageous proposals that take away their protections. In a statement, Kris Bahner, Kellogg's spokesperson said that the company was disappointed in the union's decision to strike.
