Kellogg’s union members ratify a new contract, ending a nearly 3-month strike
By Scott Neuman, NPR
The Kellogg’s strike is over.
The union representing striking workers at four Kellogg Co. breakfast cereal plants has ratified a deal to end an 11-week work stoppage.
Approval of a new five-year contract for the 1,400 affected workers came after a tentative deal was announced last week. Kellogg had threatened to replace striking workers at plants in Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, prompting criticism from the Biden administration.
“Our striking members at Kellogg’s ready-to-eat cereal production facilities courageously stood their ground and sacrificed so much in order to achieve a fair contract,” Anthony Shelton, president of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, said in a statement Tuesday. “This agreement makes gains and does not include any concessions.”
The company said in a statement that the ratified deal “furthers our employees’ leading wages and benefits, with immediate, across-the-board wage increases and enhanced benefits for all.”
