Kellogg's Boycott

 Here is a US-based business that deserves to face a boycott. They earned $1.76 BILLION last year. They are now hiring non-union workers, rather than paying fair wages and benefits. The CEO received $11.6 million in compensation in 2020. 

"Kellogg’s workers are fighting against cuts to jobs, wages and benefits, and the expansion of the hated two-tier structure, which forces new hires to labor for less pay than their co-workers on the same line. In addition, workers have been forced to work under a brutal overtime regime during the pandemic, during which the company’s revenues have soared amid rising demand for snack products."

I just commented on another post that some corporations have become positively Dickensian.

Are they American or Canadian?

They are American, Red, but more often than not US anti-union practices spread to Canada. Capitalism at its very worst.

I hate the two tier wage structure.

So many people here in the states are very anti-union and talk about greedy union bosses and such, nobody minds wealthy business executives for some reason.

I worked in several Oil Chemical and Atomic Workers union plants. I always got along with well them.
