Kellogg plans to permanently replace some 1,400 workers who have been striking since October, the company announced this week.
Kellogg and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers International Union failed to reach a new contract agreement, leading to the planned change.
“We have made every effort to reach a fair agreement, including making six offers to the union throughout negotiations, all which have included wage and benefits increases for every employee. It appears the union created unrealistic expectations for our employees,” Chris Hood, president of Kellogg North America, said in a recent statement.
“The prolonged work stoppage has left us no choice but to hire permanent replacement employees in positions vacated by striking workers. These are great jobs and posting for permanent positions helps us find qualified people to fill them. While certainly not the result we had hoped for, we must take the necessary steps to ensure business continuity. We have an obligation to our customers and consumers to continue to provide the cereals that they know and love,” he added.
The strike started because of disputes over pay, benefits, and the prospect of more jobs being moved to Mexico. Workers are striking at factories in four states: Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
The union said workers “overwhelmingly voted to reject the tentative agreement” and that the strike would continue.

It’s strictly Post Tosties for me from now on.
Call Biden. He will send you as many plane loads of illegals as you can handle.
Just saw 4 stories how Biden is whining about this
Watch the NLRB step in and tell Kelloggs they can’t
Sounds cereal.
Brandon has stated many times that he supports “made in USA”. Here’s a chance to bring together the, “good paying union jobs” and keep jobs from going to Mexico.
But won’t happen he always does the wrong thing.
That’s Great!!!
I was expecting to read these 1400 workers were striking in protest of Vax demands but no, it all comes back to the Labor Union. Sometimes the Labor Union overplays it’s hand trying to negotiate higher saleries or benefits.
This will be one of those times.
Smash the unions.
Replacing strikers and moving plants to Mexico is ggrrrrreeat!
Hard to keep production in the US, or return it to the US, when workers behave like this.
Biden’s on his way to all foods pudding consistently anyhow.
I’d stay away from the “frosted” flakes for awhile....
Brandon says, “If we can’t move the jobs to Mexico we’ll just bring the Mexicans here”.
Okay, we're striking until you pay us a million dollars an hour - and you can't replace us!
Then watch Kellogs leave the country.
They just don’t get it. We are living in a day and age where most of their jobs can be replaced by machines. They are just speeding up the process. Until that process transforms, in the interim they will be replaced by temporary workers.
they can change to a breakfast news organization and call all of the workers reporters and get 40,000 each in subsidies from BBB bill.
