The 2021 Nabisco strike was a

labor strike involving workers for the American snack manufacturer Nabisco, a subsidiary of Mondelez International. The strike began at a Nabisco facility in Portland, Oregon
on August 10 and over the next few days spread to several more Nabisco facilities throughout the United States.

The strike was caused due to disagreements between Nabisco and the

labor union was opposed to these changes and additionally wanted safeguards against possible outsourcing to Nabisco plants in Mexico. As a result of an impasse between the union and company, members of the local union at the Nabisco plant in Portland performed a walkout
on August 10, initiating the strike. Over the next several days, other local unions at Nabisco facilities throughout the United States also joined in striking against the company, and by August 23, it had affected every bakery and distribution facility in the country. The strike is Nabisco's first since a 56-day strike in 1969.

On September 15, the union and company announced that they had reached a tentative agreement that would end the strike, with voting amongst union members to commence in the following days. On September 18, union members voted to accept the agreement, thus ending the strike. Terms of the contract included pay raises, increased contributions to the workers' 401(k) accounts, and a $5,000 bonus.

Background

Nabisco and the BCTGM

Chicago, Illinois.[1][4][5] However, by mid-2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the company closed their Atlanta and Fair Lawn facilities, which resulted in the loss of about 1,000 union jobs.[1][note 1]

Contract negotiations

In May 2021,[8][9] the labor contracts between Nabisco and the BCTGM expired without replacement contracts in place.[1] Discussions between the union and company were at a standstill, with the company pushing for concessions in the next contract.[1] In particular, in 2018, Nabisco stated that they would stop offering pension benefits, which was a major point of contention with the union.[1] As a replacement, the company instituted a 401(k) program, though the union was seeking the reinstitution of the pension plan.[8][10]

Some employees at the three plants also expressed concerns that their jobs could be outsourced to Nabisco plants in Mexico that had recently opened, though Nabisco has claimed that the plant closures in Atlanta and Fair Lawn did not result in those jobs being outsourced to the Mexican plants.[1][11] Despite this, a local union at one of the American facilities filed a Trade Adjustment Assistance petition with the United States Department of Labor.[12] In an interview with Vice in August, one employee stated, "There’s a constant threat of if you don’t agree to concessions, we'll leave".[1] Speaking about this issue, a union representative stated, "There’s no animosity on our part towards the Mexican workers. Our animosity is towards the company. The Mexican workers are just getting exploited."[4] As a result of the concerns, the union was seeking safeguards against potential outsourcing to the Mexican plants.[11]

Other points of contention between the company and union included the company pushing for mandatory weekend work, changing 8-hour shifts to 12-hour shifts without

fiscal quarter of 2021.[3][2] Speaking of this, one union representative stated, "This company made record profits throughout the pandemic and then they come to the table and they want concessions. It’s absolutely a slap in the face."[17]

Prelude to strike action

By August 10, Local 364 had been negotiating with Mondelez for about three weeks. On that day, with a breakdown in negotiations, workers at the facility performed a

Course of the strike

The strike began at the Portland facility on August 10 with a walkout that involved about 200 workers.

train engineer that they were on strike, after which the train reversed course.[25] A spokesman for Union Pacific later stated that they were not servicing the facility due to the strike.[25]

Strike spreads to other locations

Shortly after the Portland strike began,

Fair Labor Standards Act by trying to negotiate directly with employees at the facility.[28] On August 16, about 400 members of Local 358 in Richmond also went on strike.[29][30] That same day, Mondelez issued a press release where they stated that they were dedicated to continuing to bargain "in good faith" with the union.[31][32] August 19 saw Local 1, representing workers at a production facility in Chicago, also join in striking against Nabisco,[30][33] picketing the facility in the city's Marquette Park neighborhood.[34] The strike action also affected a distribution facility in nearby Addison, Illinois.[35][36] With the strike action at the Chicago plant, WBUR-FM reported that "all major U.S. bakeries" that produce Nabisco products were on strike.[37][38] Also following the start of strike action in Chicago, it was reported that over 1,000 workers were now involved in the strike.[35][22][39] On August 23, Local 42[40] at a distribution center in Norcross, Georgia (near Atlanta) also joined the strike.[8][41][42] With the Norcross action, all Nabisco bakeries and distribution facilities in the United States were now involved in the strike.[43] As the strike spread, many supermarkets began to stock up on Nabisco products, predicting a shortage as the strike continued.[44][45]

Politicians and celebrities voice their support

On August 18, actor

Jesús "Chuy" García expressed his intent to join with picketers in Chicago,[54] while Portland commissioners Jo Ann Hardesty and Carmen Rubio did so on September 4.[55][56]

Continued strike action

Picketing outside the Portland plant on August 28

On August 23, representatives for both the union and company met to discuss negotiations, during which time the company stated that they were standing by their initial offer.

2020–2021 United States racial unrest. Among other things, these protesters blockaded parking lots where suspected replacement workers boarded vehicles that took them to the facility and set off car alarms at hotels where the replacement workers were reportedly staying.[25] The blockade in particular led to a brief altercation with company-hired security guards and led to police being called on the protesters.[58]

On August 31, Nabisco sent a cease and desist letter to the bakers union at the Portland facility warning legal action for continued interference in their operations, and several days later on September 2, officers from the Portland Police Bureau removed strikers from near the train tracks where they had been protesting.[59] According to some strikers, this came after Nabisco hired a surveying company to confirm that the strip of land near the railroad tracks that the strikers had been protesting in was owned by the company.[59] On September 2, Nabisco submitted a contract offer to the union that was rejected and later expired on September 7.[7] Terms of the proposed contract would have included a $5,000 bonus for each worker,[60] as well as increases in both annual wages and 401(k) matches.[61] On September 8, Nabisco announced a collaboration with The Pokémon Company with the release of limited edition Pokémon-themed Oreos.[62] The announcement was widely reported on in light of the boycott against Nabisco products,[63] with articles published in Kotaku and AsiaOne questioning the ethicality of purchasing them.[62][64] Over the course of the strike, the boycott gained attention over social media sites such as Reddit and Facebook, with some supporters of the strike posting pictures of fully-stocked shelves of Nabisco products at stores as proof of the boycott's effectiveness.[65]

Also on September 2, AFL–CIO President Liz Shuler met with picketing strikers in Richmond to voice the AFL–CIO's continued support for the strike.[66][67] The following day, at a consumer conference, Van de Put stated that production levels at Nabisco were "not to the same level" as before the strike and that another round of discussions between the company and union were scheduled for the following week.[68] These would be the first direct discussions between the two groups since July.[61] Through mid-September, protesters in Portland began to speak about an increased level of violence from the security guards, who were from the Michigan-based security firm Huffmaster.[60][58][69] Reporters from local television station KATU reported increased incidents of confrontations between protesters and security guards hired by Nabisco,[70][71] and on September 14, a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters who had been protesting with the striking workers filed a federal lawsuit against Huffmaster, claiming that one of the guards had committed assault and battery on him.[72] That same day, members of the National Women's Soccer League team Portland Thorns FC joined the picket line in support of the striking workers.[73][74]

End of the strike

On September 15, BCTGM and Mondelez released statements saying that the two had come to a tentative agreement that could see an end to the strike.[75] While the details of the agreement were not made public at that time, BCTGM President Anthony Shelton stated that the proposed contract would be presented for a vote by union members in the next few days.[75] However, picketing and strike activities would continue until the agreement is ratified.[76] The agreement was reached following an intense round of bargaining that had taken place over the previous two days.[76] On September 18, the union announced that the contract had been ratified by its members, with the strikers to return to their jobs that week, thus ending the strike.[77] The four-year contract was retroactive to March 1, 2021, and, according to the union, included increases to pay and 401(k) contributions as well as other policy changes. While neither the company nor union revealed specifics, the progressive media organization More Perfect Union stated that the contract included a 2.25 percent pay increase for 2021 and $0.60 hourly wage increases for each year after that. Additionally, workers would receive a $5,000 bonus and Nabisco would increase its 401(k) matching contributions from 25 percent to 50 percent, up to 6 percent of the worker's total pay.[77] No change was made to the workers' healthcare plan.[78] The contract was approved with over 75 percent of the vote.[78] Despite this, some workers at the Portland facility expressed dissatisfaction with some of the terms of the agreement, including provisions that they stated would lead to broader alternative scheduling.[78]
