A union representing 1,400 Kellogg’s workers has reached a tentative agreement with the cereal giant on a new five-year contract.  

Detroit, December 19 (RHC)-- In the U.S, a union representing 1,400 Kellogg’s workers has reached a tentative agreement with the cereal giant on a new five-year contract.  

If approved by workers during a weekend vote, the deal will end a more than two-month strike at four Kellogg’s plants.   A previous tentative agreement that would have brought 3% raises was rejected by an overwhelming majority of workers.

In other trade union news, in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, workers at two Boston-area Starbucks stores have announced a unionization effort.   Their campaign comes after workers at a Buffalo Starbucks location voted last week to form the first U.S.-based union of the coffee mega-chain.

In Los Angeles County, workers at a cake factory that produces desserts for chain stores including Walmart and Baskin-Robbins are on day 45 of a strike demanding better working conditions.  The mostly Latinx immigrant workers say they’re forced to work up to 15 hours a day, have to produce 13 cakes per minute and are granted only three sick days a year.
