Striking Kellogg's workers Michael Rodarte, Sue Griffin and Michael Elliott stand outside the Omaha, Neb., cereal plant Thursday, Dec. 2, 2021. The company and the union announced Thursday that they have reached a tentative contract agreement.
“The members have spoken. The strike continues,” union President Anthony Shelton said. “The International Union will continue to provide full support to our striking Kellogg’s members.” Rutgers University professor Todd Vachon, who teaches classes about labor relations, said he’s not sure the company will be able to hire enough workers to replace the ones who are out on strike in the current economy, and Kellogg’s may have a hard time finding people willing to cross a picket line.
Victor Chen, a sociologist at Virginia Commonwealth University who studies labor, said he understands why the union is taking a stand against the two-tiered wage system because it is a divisive issue within its ranks. Earlier this year, about 600 food workers also went on strike at a Frito-Lay plant in Topeka, Kansas, and 1,000 others walked off the job at five Nabisco plants across the U.S. At meatpacking plants across the country labor unions have been successfully negotiating significant raises for employees.

Kellogs announced they will be hiring 1400 permanent replacement workers due to the ongoing strike..good luck brothers and sisters it looks like you have a long battle ahead
The two-tiered pay system was a sticking point. They rejected it because they didn't want to leave anyone behind. Kudos to the strikers for looking out for their fellow workers.
