#Kelloggs #WorkerStrike #Benefits
I refuse to buy any Kellog's products till they resolve these issues for their employees.
Us people allow these companies to move overseas. When they move we still buy. Oreos moved and we still buy. I stopped buying Oreos soon as they moved.
How do I get a union for my job?? Like to make more than 15 it's not a living wage!!! Workers of the world unite!!! It proved Communism works !!
Hey Kellogg! You supported BLM by contributing just under $1M to them. Time to realize the left ‘eats it’s own’ sort of like the left eating your cereal! It’s amazing to me you are truly surprised by what’s happening.
Yea made $120000 working 100 hours a week. I'll take the $80000 for 40 hours a week anyday.
Boycott Kellogs, the founder started male genital mutilation in the US
of course people are going to fight about food
You need health care and benefits. Raises should be based on performance and who well you work. Unions don’t always work.
They take our food in Mexico 🇲🇽-I’ll will not buy any more food from Kellogg’s ever.
Good for them!
Best of luck maybe have to shut them down! The junk cereal business lasted a long time.workers can buy the facilities and maybe come together on a non sugary wholesome product! If Kellogg’s goes to another country -lobby to tax all
Import sugar crap. It’s not food. Corn flakes are not food. Why do they refer the crap to food. Plus the rats in those facilities, roaches , bullweavals etc. yeah now as a union worker , shut em down. Sorry. Sugar-corn- inflammation. Or make moonshine. Lol
Don't we already import a lot of foods from Mexico?
I just got hired as a temp worker in this plant they paying us like $400 a day. I cant believe the low wage their to their employees
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there.
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair.
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
My dady was a miner,
And I'm a miner's son,
He'll be with you fellow workers
Until this battle's won.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can?
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Come all you good workers,
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell.
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?
Kellogg's literally produces homosexual themed cereal. What happened to Tony the tiger?
Exactly move to Mexican and it not approve nobody gonna eat it
Stay Strong! Solidarity! Union Brothers and Sisters!
They should just quit and go work somewhere else for $120,000 a year oh wait they can't
Different pay and benefits for new workers. Yep, divide the workers against each other and watch them argue amongst themselves. Then as the older workers retire, the years of negotiated pay and benefits will be all for not as the newer workers will have to start the negotiations over to get up to what the workers of today gave up. I support the Kellogg's workers. God bless you!
Most Kellogg’s employees make 120k a year?!?!
Look up Kelliggs inaugurate expansion of its plant in Queretaro in Mexico. And look at the date. Oct 2021. The same month the workers went on strike. Kelliggs has flat out lied to the consumers for years. Mexican cereal is already on the shelf in the U.S.
120k is good money
Don't Support These Company's ! Pay Your Workers !
Good on ya…I have been hoping for a TREMENDOUS surge to STRIKE for decent wages. #UNIONGENERALSTRIKE2021
and now Kellogg's trying to get scabs
These strikes are getting minimal coverage because Kellogg is one of their biggest advertisers.
If they move these plants overseas, they may as well close up shop. There are tons of people who would boycott their brand. It's time that a real conversation starts taking place in our nation about livable wages across the board for ALL Americans! We need to catch up with other modern countries. Those countries value their citizens enough to give them wages they can feed, clothe, and house a family on. And healthcare and education is a basic dignified right. It's time, we as the citizens, start demanding these RIGHTS! #LivableWagesNow
