Statement by President Joe Biden On Kellogg Collective Bargaining Negotiations

Collective bargaining is an essential tool to protect the rights of workers that should be free from threats and intimidation from employers.

Thatโ€™s why I am deeply troubled by reports of Kelloggโ€™s plans to permanently replace striking workers from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International during their ongoing collective bargaining negotiations.

Permanently replacing striking workers is an existential attack on the union and its membersโ€™ jobs and livelihoods. I have long opposed permanent striker replacements and I strongly support legislation that would ban that practice.

And such action undermines the critical role collective bargaining plays in providing workers a voice and the opportunity to improve their lives while contributing fully to their employerโ€™s success.

Unions built the middle class of this country. My unyielding support for unions includes support for collective bargaining, and I will aggressively defend both.

I urge employers and unions to commit fully to the challenging task of working out their differences at the bargaining table in a manner that fairly advances both partiesโ€™ interests.
