Kellogg’s to
Shutter 39 Distribution Centers as Layoffs Loom
by Jerome Hudson 9 Feb 2017
Kellogg’s is
shutting down 39 distribution centers across the country, the embattled cereal
giant announced this week.
“While this is the right move for the company to achieve
our long-term objectives, it was a difficult decision because of its impact on
employees,” company spokesperson Kris Charles said,
according to CNYCentral.
The Michigan-based company did not specify how many jobs
would be lost during its year-long layoff plan, part of an initiative to shift
toward a “highly efficient warehouse model.” Though as many
as 1,100 full-time workers could be impacted,
given Kellogg’s estimation that an average distribution center
employs 30 full-time workers.
Kellogg’s stock saw a decline and its
brand perception online took a deep negative nosedive last year
following the cereal maker’s politically-driven attack on Breitbart
News and its 45 million monthly readers. The company complied with demands
from obscure left-wing advocacy groups, who pushed a social
media campaign to coerce companies away from advertising on Breitbart.
Charles said
Breitbart News and its tens of millions of readers “aren’t aligned with” the
cereal maker’s “values as a company.”
Breitbart News launched its #DumpKelloggs petition, which has
been signed by more than 430,000 people.
Kellogg’s beef with Breitbart News came amid widespread
allegations of racism toward factory workers and profiting from the use of
child labor.
It was also reported that Kellogg’s
politically-motivated nonprofit has close ties to radical anti-American
billionaire George Soros, hate group Black
Lives Matter, and deceased Cuban dictator Fidel
Castro.
The left wing campaign to coerce companies to pull
their ads from Breitbart News has had “little to no impact” on the
organization, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said at the time.
