Kellogg's has reached a new tentative agreement with its 1,400 striking cereal plant workers that could bring an end to the strike that began October 5.
Members of the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union will vote on the new offer that includes cost-of-living adjustments and a $1.10 per hour raise for all employees on Sunday. Last week, the union overwhelmingly rejected a previous offer from the Battle Creek, Michigan-based company that included 3% raises, but only some employees would have received cost-of-living adjustments.
"We value all of our employees. They have enabled Kellogg to provide food to Americans for more than 115 years," said Kellogg Co. Chairman and CEO Steve Cahillane. "We are hopeful our employees will vote to ratify this contract and return to work."
