Congratulations union bosses. I’m sure your donations to the leftists will help your soon to be unemployed members. Good thing you squeezed every drop you could out of them.What royally sucks is the high paying jobs that will go away here when that happens. I was engaged to a chick several years back who worked there and gawd damn do they pay well. Yes they work you to death, but they paid you for it. She was making $125(ish) ...downside is she'd go 3 weeks straight without a day off but there aren't to many jobs you can make that at...and it didn't require a degree.
I don't know why they closed and don't care enough to research it, but I know their employees like to hold the plant hostage with strikes every once and a while...cannot help but wonder if that had sumthin to do with it. Pretty sure, if I remember correctly, they were unionized, which i'm also pretty sure didn't help their cause.
Regardless, that sucks for them and Omaha.
Nice that you could inject your usual knee-jerk rant, but Kellogg's is shifting production to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ontario, where big labor surely holds more sway than in Omaha.Congratulations union bosses.

It does not help that there has been a significant decline in demand for cereal for the past 2 years, and increased competition from cheaper store brands.Nice that you could inject your usual knee-jerk rant, but Kellogg's is shifting production to Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ontario, where big labor surely holds more sway than in Omaha.
Once upon a time, it made sense to produce cereal close to where your raw material was located. Now it's easier to concentrate production closer to where your finished products are distributed and consumed. I'm guessing that's exactly what Kellogg's is doing, and that whatever labor headaches they have to deal with are not being eased in the slightest.
That's a good point as well. People are looking for ways to trim their grocery bills and store brands have benefited. I don't eat a ton of cereal, but enough to notice that name-brand cereals are one product category that is absolutely never, ever on sale.It does not help that there has been a significant decline in demand for cereal for the past 2 years, and increased competition from cheaper store brands.
I most definitely buy the store brand whenever possible. I'm not going to pay six plus dollars a box. That's for the more affluent members of our board!It does not help that there has been a significant decline in demand for cereal for the past 2 years, and increased competition from cheaper store brands.
We buy in bulk which helps.I most definitely buy the store brand whenever possible. I'm not going to pay six plus dollars a box. That's for the more affluent members of our board!

A former player of mine did a summer there as a college kid and think he said was making $1500-1700/week there, three years ago. Was just working on the floor. Crazy busy work but paid damn well.What royally sucks is the high paying jobs that will go away here when that happens.

In the 1890s, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and his brother, W.K. Kellogg, invented their signature Corn Flakes cereal in Battle Creek, Michigan. Dr. Kellogg was a devout Seventh-day Adventist who advocated against any form of sexual activity, while also promoting a vegetarian diet, leading to experimentation with grains. Dr. Kellogg also ran the Battle Creek Sanitarium — a world-famous medical wellness spa where his patients stuck to diets of all bland foods.
Not true. But, when on sale, they are still significantly higher than the store brands at regular price, so why bother?That's a good point as well.

Damn straight. Gotta earmark that cash to cupped pepperoni , fresh romano and basil instead.I most definitely buy the store brand whenever possible. I'm not going to pay six plus dollars a box. That's for the more affluent members of our board!

OMG! 😲Don’t tell that one member that you bought it from Wal-Mart.![]()
I do know that the local steam fitters union worked there for many many years.. lot's of overtime and very good pay for those with little or no education past high school. I was told stories how they were paid buku money to put in a bunch of piping and stuff, only to turn right around and tear it all back out and put in something different to suit the whims of Kellogg's management.What royally sucks is the high paying jobs that will go away here when that happens.
