Cereal lovers could soon be feeling the crunch at the breakfast table.

Workers at all U.S. Kellogg's plants — located in Nebraska, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee — went on strike Tuesday over an assortment of disputes regarding pay and benefits. Kellogg's is responsible for some of the most popular cereals in the country, including Frosted Flakes, Fruit Loops, Special K, Rice Krispies, and Corn Flakes.

The workers' union and the company have reached a critical point in their negotiations after more than a year of bargaining, said Daniel Osborn, president of the union in Omaha.

Workers are put off by a loss of premium healthcare and holiday pay, as well as a reduction in vacation time, Osborn said. He also said that the company has threatened to outsource some jobs to Mexico.

“A lot of Americans probably don’t have too much issue with the Nike or Under Armor hats being made elsewhere or even our vehicles, but when they start manufacturing our food down where they are out of the FDA control and OSHA control, I have a huge problem with that,” Osborn explained.

Osborn added that the plants have stayed open through the coronavirus pandemic, with workers pulling 12-hour shifts, seven days a week. “The level we were working at is unsustainable,” Osborn said.

The company responded with a statement affirming that the company would offer increased wages and benefits and revealing that workers made an average of $120,000 last year.

“We are disappointed by the union’s decision to strike. Kellogg provides compensation and benefits for our U.S. ready to eat cereal employees that are among the industry’s best,” Kellogg's spokesperson Kris Bahner said in the statement.

The Washington Examiner reached out to Kellogg's for a comment but did not receive an immediate response.
