Kellog's blinks, workers win.

union makes no concessions, gets most of what they asked for to a degree, and prevents any plant from moving through 2026. pension increases, path to full time solidified, no 2 tier employment structure, and significant pay raise.

fuck ya, i can eat frosted flakes again.

ROFL Kellogg's accountants probably did an analysis of Cost to Benefit ratios on hiring new employees and training. They just said fuck it we carry the loss and make it back in next few quarters by incremental work load increase, along with upping all products by 5%

They are just biding their time till automation or everyone drops dead.
Whichever happens first.

most of it could be automated today, but labor union will sue if they fire too many people and boycotts would kill their sales.

theres nothing on that line that a robot/machine cant do, today.

This is forced growth stunt. Every hippie talks down about corporation yet has only self interest at heart the hypocracy.
