Kellogg’s Works Will Vote on Another Deal

As Kellogg’s workers and the union representing its cereal plant workers have jointly announced a tentative agreement to put an end to the months-long strike at the company, this strike may even last longer than anticipated. A key issue that is debated at the plant is “a two-tier” issue. Currently, employees who started in 2015 or later are paid according to a different, lower wage scale than “legacy” employees. Union members want a complete end to the two-tier system.

Todd Manusos, a material transfer operator at the Battle Creek plant, stated: “For all the reasons that we went out on strike, none of it was addressed. We went out to fix this equality problem. And [the previous] tentative agreement did not speak to that at all.”
