Since August 10th, bakery plant workers who make Oreos, Ritz and Chips Ahoy in five states across the country, have walked off the job. The parent company of Nabisco, a multinational food conglomerate called Mondelez, has closed multiple facilities, including a legacy plant in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and has already laid off thousands while sending jobs to other countries at a much lower pay scale. The Checkout spoke with three BCTGM workers about their experiences at work, how the company has degraded conditions, compensation and benefits, and what the workers hope to achieve through direct action.

Guests Include:

Lisa Gregory, BCTGM International Representative, East-Central Region.

Mike Burlingham, BCTGM Local 364 Vice President, Portland, Oregon.

Carl Miller, BCTGM Local 358, 34 Year-veteran, Richmond, Virginia.
