Two days of negotiations earlier this week failed to produce an agreement between Kellogg Co. and the union representing employees at its cereal plants.

Thus, 1,400 employees in the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers’ International Union — including 480 in Omaha — are continuing to strike.

In what Kellogg Co. called its “Last Best Final Offer” to the union, the company wrote in a Wednesday post that it proposed an agreement that would increase wages and enhance benefits for all employees, increase pension multipliers for legacy employees (defined as those who have been employed since before 2015) and no longer propose a permanent two-tiered wage and benefit structure.

The company’s proposed contract did not pass muster with union leaders, one of whom said the company proposed keeping the tiered structure put in place under the previous labor agreement in 2015. That agreement expired Oct. 5.

2. Won't buy any Kelloggs products until a fair contract is signed.

I support a fair contract for ALL the workers.

Conquer and divide is wrong.
