BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A strike at Battle Creek-based Kellogg Company looks like it will continue after a recent offer from the company was rejected by the union.
Around 1,400 workers have been on strike at four different Kellogg locations, including Battle Creek, for over a month now. They are fighting to block a system that would prevent some employees from receiving full benefits and earning a pension.
The latest negotiations broke down and ended Wednesday afternoon. The company says they provided their “last best and final offer”. But the union says it did not achieve “a pathway to fully vetted workers without takeaways”. Kellogg says their latest offer comes with significant wage increases for current and future transitional employees. Union members said they will continue to strike until a good deal can be reached.
