Kellogg's has reached a new tentative agreement with its 1,400 striking cereal plant workers that could bring an end to the strike that began Oct. 5.
FILE - Striking Kellogg's workers Michael Rodarte, Sue Griffin, Michael Elliott, Eric Bates and Mark Gonzalez stand outside the Omaha, Neb., cereal plant on, Dec. 2, 2021. Kellogg's has reached a new tentative agreement on Thursday, Dec. 16, 2021, with its 1,400 striking cereal plant workers that could bring an end to the strike that began Oct. 5.
“We value all of our employees. They have enabled Kellogg to provide food to Americans for more than 115 years,” said Kellogg Co. Chairman and CEO Steve Cahillane. “We are hopeful our employees will vote to ratify this contract and return to work.” Kellogg’s said most workers at its cereal plants earned an average of $120,000 last year although union members have said they work more than 80 hours a week to earn that, and those wages are only available to longtime workers. Under the two-tiered pay system the company uses, newer workers are paid less and receive fewer benefits.
Throughout the strike Kellogg's has been trying to keep its plants operating with salaried employees and outside workers, and the company said late last month that it planned to start hiring permanent replacements for the striking workers.
