(ZEROHEDGE) – Kellogg’s has begun to restart production at four U.S. cereal plants, where output came to a screeching halt Tuesday as more than a thousand employees went on a strike over stalled contract negations.
In an emailed response, a Kellogg spokesperson told Bloomberg that plants are in “various stages of preparing for startup.” There was no mention of timelines when full production would resume. “We are implementing contingency plans to mitigate supply disruptions, including using salaried employees and third-party resources to produce food,” the spokesperson added.
On Tuesday, around 1,400 employees across food plants in Omaha, Nebraska; Battle Creek, Michigan; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Memphis, Tennessee, went on strike amid failed discussions over workers’ payment and benefits contract.
