BCTGM Midwest Region International Vice President Jethro Head is featured on labor radio, The Rick Smith Show, to explain last week’s formal complaint against Mondelēz issued by Local 300 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The complaint focuses on company discrimination based on the race and age of employees at the Chicago Nabisco plant.
“Of the facility’s over 950 Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Local 300 (BCTGM Local 300) bargaining unit members, over 650 are African American or Latino and over 700 are over age 40. The complaint states that the company’s decision to move over 600 jobs to Mexico was driven by the desire to eliminate its largest workforce population made up of people of color and those over age 40,” explains Head.
