Kellogg Co. has reached a tentative agreement with unionized workers who have been striking at all four of its U.S. cereal plants since Oct. 5.
The settlement would give workers with several years’ tenure a 3% raise and cost-of-living increases. It also would reform the two-tier system of wages and benefits. Workers with four years of experience would move to the upper tier immediately after the contract is ratified, and lower-tier workers would be able to move up during the five years of the contract.
The strike involved about 1,400 workers of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union, who are scheduled to vote Dec. 5. It’s not certain whether they will ratify. As CNN pointed out, the union’s statement on the settlement omitted the celebratory language that usually accompanies agreements that have the full support of union management.
