To my pro-worker friends, I need some help sharing ALL this!!! (correction)


Correction: Dear all – For the Kellogg videos and KelloggGreed.com site we launched today, the below links have been updated for use on Twitter and Facebook - to include mention of @Kellogg_US as well the link to www.kellogggreed.com in Facebook posts.

Thank you all for your help in circulating this -


I have a friend that works at the Omaha plant. Omaha will soon have a lock-out too. Please share all this info as your time allows.

OS

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.
