BCTGM agreed to extend nationwide contracts to the end of May and raise wage 2.25%. But Nabisco is closing plants in Georgia and New Jersey.

The new national contract contains significant union concessions, ending the pension and giving the company the right to use temps during the COVID crisis.

For members and retirees of Portland-based BCTGM Local 364, their union’s fight to save pensions at Mondelēz Nabisco is  personal.

After two years without negotiations, Mondelēz-Nabisco is withdrawing from the union pension, and implementing annual raises of 2.25 percent.

Two years after the union contract expired, Mondelēz/Nabisco offers workers $15,000 to agree to the company’s final offer — and gives a May 20 deadline.
