Nabisco Workers in Virginia, Oregon and Colorado Strike Against Long Hours, Outsourcing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workers at the Nabisco factory in Richmond, Virginia, have joined
hundreds of other Nabisco employees in Oregon and Colorado in a strike
effort, demanding humane working hours, fair pay and an end to the
outsourcing of jobs to Mexico, where wages are considerably lower.

Striking workers: "No contract, no snacks! No contract, no snacks!"

Nabisco produces Oreos, Chips Ahoy, Ritz crackers and other popular
snacks. Nabisco workers say they have been forced to work 12- to 16-hour
shifts during the pandemic, often including on weekends.
