Omaha’s labor movement rolled up its sleeves Sunday for a pancake feed to help people find skilled jobs and support striking workers.

The Nebraska Center for Workforce Development and Education partnered with the United Way of the Midlands to host the event at the Firefighters Union Hall at 6001 Grover St. In addition to the pancake breakfast, the 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. event featured a Trunk or Treat candy giveaway in the parking lot, a Bloody Mary drink contest and meat raffles.

“The AFL-CIO used to host an event like this, and we wanted to bring it back,” said Shanna Murphy of the Omaha Federation of Labor. “All of this snowballed in about five weeks time, and it’s gone really good. We’re almost sold out of food.”

Money raised from the meat raffles went to support the striking Kellogg’s workers, Murphy said. Proceeds will also go to Project Reset, a program that helps people who have become entangled in the justice system and want to find skilled labor employment.

1. Kellogg brags about how much money the workers are making

They work 7 days a week with massive overtime. Turns out these Americans want to have a life. Presently they are slaves. Wonder what the divorce rate is among those workers.
Kellogg has destroyed the 40 hour work week for its workers and they are proud of it.
I worked for a printing dump that made us work on Labor day. Management all went home to be with their families. They bought us pizza. I never ate it and quit after a few years.
