OMAHA, Neb. -- Kellogg's latest offer to striking workers has been rejected by union leaders and will not go to members for a vote.
The revised offer was presented on Wednesday during a two-day return to the negotiating table.
The company removed a permanent two-tiered structure from the proposal and offered to continue the current pathway to legacy wages and benefits for transitional employees. The proposal would also provide $2-$5 an hour wage increases for transitional employees, depending on years of service.
In a statement, the union said the company couldn't find a fully-benefitted way to achieve the pathway, so they walked away from the table.
The strike in Omaha started Oct. 5 after contract negotiations initially stalled.
