Workers take over a Kellogg factory, now known as ‘Socialist Kellogg’ — Fight Back News

Summary:
"Thanks to us being trained and well-organized, all of us workers reopened the factory and put it into production. We took over the factory to protect the rights of the workers.

The basic principles of our socialist enterprise are to dignify the work of our working class, increase the levels of production, guarantee that the equipment is highly maintained, produce good quality products, in a fair price and to be a self-sustainable company to contribute to the economic development of the country,” says Orlando Contreras, beaming with pride.The workers have increased the production from two cereal types to four.

With more sales, they can increase the production and worker salaries and benefits.
