Workers at a small, family-owned wheat processing facility that serves brands like Hershey, Kellogg's, and Frito Lay (which uses their product to make Sun Chips) have been on strike since March 6th. Safety is the primary concern in negotiations.
Workers describe deteriorated and uninspected ladders, some unbolted from silos, and a lack of maintained safety harnesses. The company allegedly refuses to address safety proposals, sometimes leaving a single worker alone in facilities. If someone were to fall, they might not be found until the next shift.
Workers are asking for multiple people to be present in facilities to ensure a safer working environment. They contrast the company's alleged $4,000,000 silo painting project with their refusal to invest in employee safety. Workers express a desire to return to work and emphasize their solidarity, viewing their union as a family.
