Tell Kellogg to Restore the Values and Principles of W.K. Kellogg!




http://www.kellogggreed.com/

Kellogg Company, the $14 billion global snack food giant, has embarked on a perilous path that threatens the very principles and values that its founder W.K. Kellogg envisioned a century ago. Under the guise of yet another restructuring program and led by its CEO, John Bryant, Kellogg is closing factories, cutting production lines, locking out workers, taking uncompromising and unreasonable stands at collective bargaining tables throughout the world and is even turning its back on its hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan.

While Bryant gets a pay raise of $8 million and investors get rich with increasing dividend payments and share buybacks, thousands of other Kellogg employees and the communities they live in are left devastated and angry. For a company that prides itself on community involvement and participation in philanthropic causes, recent actions by Kellogg makes it clear that the company is not the beacon of corporate or social responsibility it claims to be.

Use this form to email Kellogg executives telling them to restore the values and principles the company was founded upon.

Greed and lack of concern for anyone but the 1% is the new paradigm.
