04 Nov Workers at Kelloggโs Cereal Production Plants Continue Strike
Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) issued the following statement in support of 1,400 BCTGM members in Battle Creek, Mich. (Local 3G), Omaha, Neb. (Local 50G), Lancaster, Pa. (Local 374G) and Memphis, Tenn. (Local 252G) who are on strike against the Kellogg Company:
The companyโs last, best and final offer does not achieve what our members are asking for; a predictable pathway to fully vested, fully benefitted employment for all employees with no concessions.
Kelloggโs continues to insist on takeaways.ย The company came to the table insisting that there will only be an agreement if the Union accepts the company proposal exactly as it has been written.ย The companyโs proposal was filled with conditions and terms as to what was acceptable to Kelloggโs.ย These terms and conditions are unacceptable to our members.
Therefore, the BCTGM Bargaining Committee rejected the proposal.ย The strike by 1,400 BCTGM Kelloggโs members at the companyโs four U.S. cereal plants continues.
