The actions come on top of strikes earlier this summer by 600 workers at a Frito-Lay plant in Topeka, Kansas, and 1,000 workers at five Nabisco Inc plants across the US. Workers from a Kellogg cereal plant picket outside a company plant in Omaha, Nebraska, on Wednesday. Kellogg workers are also striking in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Non-union fast food workers have walked off the job in dozens of US cities seeking a US$15 minimum wage. Some workers said they have endured 12-hour shifts seven days per week throughout the pandemic, with only a few minutes’ notice about mandatory overtime.
