Nabisco Workers in Virginia, Oregon and Colorado Strike Against Long Hours, Outsourcing

HeadlineAug 18, 2021

Workers at the Nabisco factory in Richmond, Virginia, have joined hundreds of other Nabisco employees in Oregon and Colorado in a strike effort, demanding humane working hours, fair pay and an end to the outsourcing of jobs to Mexico, where wages are considerably lower.

Striking workers: “No contract, no snacks! No contract, no snacks!”

Nabisco produces Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Ritz crackers and other popular snacks. Nabisco workers say they have been forced to work 12- to 16-hour shifts during the pandemic, often including on weekends.
