About 450 workers are set to lose their jobs by mid-August as Kellogg's formally notified the state of the timeline for its Omaha plant's permanent closure.

WK Kellogg Co, based in Battle Creek, Michigan, filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification with the Nebraska Department of Labor on May 22, confirming a phased layoff that will eliminate 451 positions at the Omaha plant at 9601 F St.

The filing puts firm dates on the plant's permanent closure first announced in August 2024.

Initial layoffs are expected to begin in July, affecting about 100 workers, the company said. A second wave of about 350 employees will lose their jobs on or after the period from Aug. 4 to 18, after which the plant will permanently cease operations.

2. They are UNION grain millers that backed Harris

The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) endorsed Kamala Harris for President in the 2024 election. The union's leadership—including International President Anthony Shelton—was highly supportive of the Democratic ticket, citing the administration's pro-labor policies, support for collective bargaining, and historic pension protections.

6. Thank you for posting this

We need to understand that most states are purple, and that there are people who support Democrats in every state

3. You're talking nonsense.

For someone who is "pro union" what do you gain from shitting on other union members and making things up?

4. I Am Forever Pro-Union, So I Hope These Employees Voted....

Blue.

'Cause some union members, like cops, do not.

And I worked with plenty of Republican members of the NEA (teachers).

But yeah, this Kelloggs closure ain't good.

5. Who buys Kellogs anymore?

I'm a cereal eater, but I don't buy Kellogs due to the price. They may have priced themselves out of business. The cure for high prices is high prices.
