BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – It’s back to work as usual today at Kellogg’s plants in four states.
Members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers union last weekend ratified a second tentative contract that had been worked out between the company and the union.
The union represents nearly 1,400 workers in four cities including Battle Creek. Workers returned yesterday after ending a nearly three month strike last week. They walked off the job in Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Tennessee October 5 over a contract dispute. They finally agreed to the new offer that includes more pay, a cost of living adjustment, and increased benefits.
The company recently came under fire for saying it would hire permanent replacements.
