Kellogg workers win support
at King Day parade


BCTGM Local 252G
Hundreds of locked-out Kellogg Company cereal plant workers and supporters marched in the Memphis Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade Jan. 20.

Kellogg locked out 226 members of Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union Local 252G Oct. 22. The company is pressing to introduce temporary, part-time work at $6 less per hour.

After the march, BCTGM International President David Durkee spoke about the fight at a King commemoration sponsored by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference at the Cane Creek Baptist Church.
