The BCTGM has produced series of powerful videos, together with a website, www.KelloggGreed.com, to tell the story of actions that the Kellogg Company is taking against its workers around the globe.
From the lockout of 220 workers at its cereal plant in Memphis, Tennessee and the announcement made shortly before Christmas that it would be closing plants in the U.S., Canada and Australia, to the shifting of production to low-wage countries, recent measures taken by Kellogg paint a picture of a greed-driven company bent on putting profits before people.
Please help distribute the videos throughout social media by visiting the www.KelloggGreed.com site, send a letter to Kellogg CEO John Bryant and use the buttons at the bottom of each page to SHARE and promote the videos and site on your own social media pages.
Below is a list of suggested TWEETS for use on Twitter as well as Facebook posts that will help drive your followers to view and share the videos, as well as take action on www.KelloggGreed.com.
