In a major victory for labor rights, workers at Kellogg’s cereal plants have ended their nearly three-month strike, after approving a new contract that provides across-the-board wage increases and enhanced benefits for all. One of the most contested issues had been a permanent two-tier system, where workers hired after 2015 were paid less than longer-tenured workers. The new five-year agreement with Kellogg’s means there won’t be a permanent two-tiered system. It also gives workers a clear path to full-time employment and provides a “significant increase in the pension multiplier.” Some 1,400 Kellogg’s workers in Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Tennessee had been on strike since October.
