Posted — UpdatedMore than a thousand members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) are currently on strike against the Kellogg Company after failed contract negotiations. The previous contract expired on Oct. 4.

The company maintains that it has made a fair offer that includes benefits and wage increases for the employees, whom Kellogg reports made an average of $120,000 a year last year.
