BCTGM Local 85 members who work at the Corn Nuts plant in Fresno, Calif. have voted to accept a new collective bargaining agreement. Approval of the contract ends the BCTGM’s strike at the Hormel-owned Corn Nuts production facility which began on August 15, 2022.

In commenting on the ratification, BCTGM International President Anthony Shelton states, “Our striking members at the Corn Nuts plant courageously stood their ground and sacrificed so much in order to achieve a fair contract.”

The new agreement improves the workers’ health insurance plan while maintaining reasonable costs for BCTGM members and their families.

“Our entire Union commends and thanks the Corn Nuts members who stood strong and undeterred in this fight. The BCTGM has shown, once again, that this Union will do whatever it takes, make any sacrifice, take on any employer or adversary in order to preserve the rights of our members and maintain a high standard of living for BCTGM families,” concludes Shelton.

1. Hornet bought Corn Nuts and tried to screw the workers. Heck they even went so far as to

cut off their medical insurance during the strike.
