Is quaker oats on there? I think im in the clear

many workers are losing 10-20 years of severance, retirement stuff, etc. and are now out of months of pay. shit job, but not a win.

as to the automation, as ive been saying for years, companies are moving slow to avoid widespread unemployment and bad PR. cases like this have them foaming at the mouth because its a legit excuse to automate faster, and also hire temp employees they never move to full time to automate quietly later.

ive been in kelloggs plants, i can eat half of their workers, they just (like dodge, ford, and many other corps) have a century old tradition of "owning towns" where a plant employs like 50% of the population. labor shortages and strikes are giving them more and more incentive to kill these towns.

Sounds like the workers were asking a bit too much.

Quaker is owned by PepsiCo

keeping what the had and were ordered to do was deemed too much.

They should have asked for less during the last negotiation then. Maybe we can have a program where we bring in cheap labor from Mexico and then grant them citizenship (and fire them) after 7 years.

I think based on some reading Kelloggs never intended to break the strike, all they offered was a pay bump and made zero concessions on the general grievances. and this is after years of making deals the union only accepted to avoid layoffs.

The only thing ill miss are the rice krispy treats.

Although whole foods makes pretty good knock offs.




Itd be a shame if those workers all disappeared in mysterious ways.

Trader joes oatmeal is pretty good.

just buy off brand and make them. its a 10 minute recipe that costs almost nothing, and u can add chocolate or peanut butter.
