It's interesting that it's known as the "Kellogg's strike", when the union is "The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers’ International Union", encompassing a lot more than Kellogg. My guess is that having tobacco workers in the name would cause fewer people to support the strike.
- WaxProlix 5y agoI assumed it was because it was mostly(all?) Kellogg's employees who were striking, and not other (or all) BCTWGMIU members.
- ryathal 5y agoIt wasn't a general strike. When GM workers were on strike a while ago it wasn't a UAW strike either because the UAW was still working everywhere else.
