The Kellogg Co. said it's reached a tentative agreement that could end the ongoing strike of some 1,400 workers.
News of the new tentative deal also comes after Kellogg's signaled in a statement on Dec. 7 that it plans to"hire permanent replacement employees in positions vacated by striking workers," saying the prolonged work stoppage"has left us no choice."
"Collective bargaining is an essential tool to protect the rights of workers that should be free from threats and intimidation from employers," Biden said in alast week."That's why I am deeply troubled by reports of Kellogg's plans to permanently replace striking workers from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International during their ongoing collective bargaining negotiations.
In what many view as a show of solidarity from fellow workers across the U.S., one Go Fund Me page launched to support the striking workers has raised nearly $140,000 from over 3,000 donors. "Last year, Kellogg's made over $1.4 billion in profits. It paid its CEO, Steven Cahillane, nearly $12 million in total compensation, a significant increase over recent years," Sanders wrote."One of the reasons that Kellogg's had such a profitable year during this pandemic was the extraordinary sacrifices made by their employees who, in significantly understaffed factories, were asked to work an insane number of hours.
