Locked out Memphis workers tell their stories - stop Kellogg greed!


http://us6.campaign-archive1.com/?u=e788a43ccacc225abf8e6e748&id=599bd43bec&e=a0311456fa



The BCTGM has released a series of powerful videos depicting Kellogg's workers' fight against rampant corporate greed. The union has posted the videos at www.kellogggreed.com from where you can also send a message to the company: http://www.kellogggreed.com/



Union workers at the transnational cereal maker's Memphis factory have been locked out since October 22 for rejecting the company's efforts to impose a plan under which all newly employed workers would be employed as casuals with no guaranteed hours at significantly lower pay and benefits. Kellogg's call this "The New Workforce of the Future".

Union factories have been closed in Australia and Canada, production is being shifted to low-wage facilities and the company is demanding unacceptable conditions around the world to feed a voracious appetite for executive pay and stock dividends.

View the videos and SEND A MESSAGE to top Kellog executives demanding a halt to the destruction of decent jobs and working people's loves and communities. If you live outside the United States, just enter your country in the postal zip field.
