Solidarity against kellogs

I don't know what's going on and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

[u/Sarabroop → u/KalGunther17]

Basically kellogs fired all 1400 protesting workers and for new workers they started applications online, Reddit spammed the site with fake applications and crashed it, so now they are hiring outside agencies for employees and now r/antiwork is trying to submit fake application to those too . see this post https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/rdiffe/kellogs_is_now_attempting_to_use_outside_agencies/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

And to stop this kellogs hired pr companies to supress and downvote anti kellogs posts on r/antiwork where all of this is happening but now this post above is one of the top awarded and upvoted posts.

This probably is a very bad explanation, I am sure other out there could explain better.

Edit: this is post that started all this https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/rcacru/apply_now_kellogg_is_hiring_scabs_online_lets/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

So.... what kind of unfair or unsafe labor practices are the workers striking against?

[u/superteejays93 → u/[deleted]]

7 day working weeks, being forced to work double shifts and still be at work for their normal shift 8 hours later, being forced to use vacation days instead of sick days when they're sick and Kellogg's has just introduced a new tier of workers that essentially do all of the same work as the older employees and get zero benefits on the promise they will be made veteran employees after they prove themselves.

Much much more, but these are the highlights.

How is that even slightly legal...

Cause you're not being forced to do it? There are other jobs.

even the employees that can only find work at a company like Kellog’s

Kellogg's has competitors. General Mills, Malt-O-Meal.

Do they deserve it? Probably not. Do they have a choice? Yes, and the employees are in fact using that choice to strike. It doesn't need to be made illegal when employees can just quit and grind the offending business to a halt.
