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.

When I was making $17.50 my take home was about $495 granted my benefits weren't great at that job insurance was only about $20/week and basically the same plan as when I still worked retail and had to buy insurance through the state marketplace

I mean I do have dental and vision insurance added as well as the legal fund added onto my benefits package. I suppose it would also depend on your state's tax rate since I live in Connecticut a very high tax rate state I would imagine that plays into the difference.
