Statement by President Joe Biden On Kellogg Collective Bargaining Negotiations

[Stuart G]

2. K and R..Great Post, Thank You Very Much, Shows Biden cares about Workers and Unions.

These 4 sentences are especially significant (sentences 2, 3, 4 & 5 from above post)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

That’s why I am deeply troubled by reports of Kellogg’s plans to permanently replace striking workers from the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International during their ongoing collective bargaining negotiations.

Permanently replacing striking workers is an existential attack on the union and its members’ jobs and livelihoods. I have long opposed permanent striker replacements and I strongly support legislation that would ban that practice.

And such action undermines the critical role collective bargaining plays in providing workers a voice and the opportunity to improve their lives while contributing fully to their employer’s success.

Unions built the middle class of this country. My unyielding support for unions includes support for collective bargaining, and I will aggressively defend both.
