Kellogg Workers In Central Pennsylvania Go On Strike
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Kellogg workers in Lancaster County are on the picket line, joining thousands of workers in Nebraska, Tennessee and Michigan as they strike over wage disparities.
The company's contract with its workers expired Tuesday morning, and negotiations for a new contract have stalled for more than a year.
The union said Kellogg's wants to eliminate cost of living adjustments and the cap on how many low-wage employees it can hire. Those workers get paid $11 less than their veteran employees.
Kellogg's said its proposals offer increases in wages and retirement benefits.
