Nebraska's Republican governor joins Joe Biden in calling on Kellogg's to negotiate with striking workers: 'Retaining your people should be a priority'
Ricketts said that he was writing"to express my hope that Kellogg's will reconsider its decision to discontinue negotiations" with the union, and that"retaining your people should be a priority."
"We remain ready and willing to continue negotiations," Kellogg spokesperson Kris Bahner said in a statement to Insider."We have made every effort to reach a fair agreement, including making six offers to the union throughout negotiations, all of which have included wage and benefits increases for every employee on top of what is already an industry-leading compensation package.
Dan Osborn, president of the local union branch in Omaha, Nebraska, told Insider in a message that Rickett's letter shows this is a truly bipartisan message. "I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of the 450 members of BCTGM Local 50G to Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts for acknowledging our cause to save the American blue collar worker," Osborn said.Subscribe to push notificationsNOW WATCH: 8 key takeaways from Trump's State of the Union address
