Kellogg Lockout Memphis, Tenn.


Dear all – More than 200 of BCTGM members at Kellogg in Memphis, Tenn. were locked out of the cereal plant in October.

Below are links to material we’ve posted on our various sites this week.

There has been an outpouring of support around the globe for these workers – below are some of the highlights of this week. We’ll be posting more photos and stories in the coming days.
