President Biden said that idea left him “deeply troubled,” and he called it “an existential attack on the union.” Kellogg has instead sweetened their offer, which shows “the workers really have the upper hand at this point,” Ileen DeVault, a labor history professor, tells Reuters. The cereal giant responded with a threat to fire the striking laborers and replace them with new hires. The 3 percent raise offered by management wasn’t enough, the Guardian reports. The 1,400-strong Kellogg workforce had rejected decisively the prior contract proposal, and in consequence management almost fell into their Frosted Flakes. On Sunday, employees of Kellogg cereal will vote whether to end a strike of more than two months and get back to work. It can’t be a coincidence that we’re seeing so much labor strife around the country at a time when inflation is waxing.
