Kellogg's cereal workers voted on Tuesday to ratify a tentative labor contract, ending a strike that began in early October.
The contract covers about 1,400 employees who work at plants in Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee and are represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers International Union. In a statement, union President Anthony Shelton said the agreement "makes gains and does not include concessions."
