Kellogg's to close 75-year-old Omaha manufacturing plant

Hundreds of workers are impacted by this announcement.

I'm sure the CEO's are getting a mutli million dollar retirement package .

[craigs]

Seems the only secure jobs in America are CEO's & Politicians. What a pity.

in future news, Kelloggs opens a new cereal factory next to the Oreo factory in mexico.

[verleguntrumjr.]

The crash has started. Layoffs, high prices and increased homelessness. History repeats itself.

In this current state of the economy most people cannot afford the legacy name branded food items anymore. Consumers are buying off-brand/store branded products. It's been so long since I purchased anything from Kellogg's I honestly do not miss their overpriced sugary product lines.

Definitely do not need 100 management jobs if total employees losing jobs are 465 ppl; sounds a little bloated at the top

[stevebradford]

Kellogg reported earnings of $110 million dollars for 2023 a net rise of 540% from 2022. They had a very good year last year. Union busting is in play here.

[twalrus]

Union busting. Watch Kellog's open a new non-union plant.

This will not only affect Omaha but the entire State Of Nebraska. Kelloggs was a huge local Grain Purchaser.

As a Nebraskan (and former Omaha resident) this is deeply concerning & I'd love it if we could get something else to replace this ASAP

[clintonlamar]

They didn't just leave. Last October my plant announced the closure of our facility in California. They actually send all non critical employees home for the day to let them process the announcement. It reduces the chances of retaliation, either by violence towards people or property.

[Tryp-jd]

SOMETHING is SERIOUSLY WRONG if it takes 100 management jobs to “support” 500 union jobs!!! Gotta GUARD every hourly person??? They were running VERY FAT!!!

[shayisenor]

Remember in 2021 when Kellogg employees went on strike and there were rumors that Kellogg was going to move a manufacturing plant to Mexico if they didn’t fold? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

[chrissund]

It's nice those 2 guys are fighting to keep the employees jobs, but not much they can do if corporate has made the decision to move on.

[williamzander]

Three trucking companies that made millions off Kelloggs hauling their crap .They will shut down .

[bigmonmagoomba]

They’ll open a new plant in some non-union state and employ a bunch of “our nation’s newest residents “.

Stop eating store bread too. Bread used to be delivered everyday instead of once a week. Get rid of those aches and pains in your legs that way.

[KimL]

Another company leaving the United States for cheaper labor.

[rickharnish]

If you look at who the biggest shareholder in Kelloggs is, its probably Black Rock followed by Vanguard and then State Street!

[terencenelson]

Who can afford a 15 dollar box of cereal😮😂😢

[deborahwhit]

No one csn afford the over priced garbage. 😎
