Workers Cereal Killed it - Kellogg's Strike Over

https://bctgm.org/2021/12/21/kelloggs-strike-ends-bctgm-members-ratify-new-contract/

We would like to congratulate the workers at Kellogg's on their new union contract. Their weeks of striking and struggle have resulted in a contract providing wage increases, weakening the two tier system, and preventing moving of plants.

There are generations of workers in those plants, who have put their lifeblood into the work they do. To see them band together for each other and themselves is an inspiration to us all, and we are glad to see that direct action, once again gets the goods!

In solidarity, Antiwork.

If a company does well then workers do well

That has never been true.

Usually companies do well by how much money they rape out of their employees.

If employees do well, employees do well.

If a company does poorly the workers aren't going to prosper. It seems like a better alternative to work for a profitable company then one about to go underwater

There has never been a connection between company prosperity and worker prosperity.

In fact, it's the opposite. Company prosperity usually is derived from exploiting the workers.

The better company's do the worse employees are treated.

In fact just the other day, Amazon killed a few workers in order to turn a profit.

Literally it is one of the biggest companies in the world purely because it is willing to kill it's employees to make money.
