What? Where did you read that? The worker's union won, with full concessions from management, and with nearly all of the employees hired back.

The new employees Kellogg tried to hire to replace the striking workers failed miserably. They didn't have enough workers with domain knowledge to run the plants; the new workers caused the company more money than they saved:

> UPDATE: Efforts to replace striking Kellogg's workers has been disastrous, workers tell us. Scabs wreaked havoc on the factory, most cereals are not being produced, and a delivery train went off the track yesterday.

Management yields 100% to workers, all demands met:

> Highlights of the new five-year collective bargaining agreement:

• No take aways; No concessions

• No permanent two-tier system

• A clear path to regular full-time employment

• Plant closing moratorium: No plant shut downs through October 2026 • A significant increase in the pension multiplier

• Maintenance of cost of living raises

Please post your source that said the Union gave up. There's no way to misinterpret this outcome at all; they clearly won.
