Union workers at Kellogg's Company reject the latest offer and continue to strike.

Kellogg's union workers voted over the weekend but rejected the new contract that was offered to them.

The Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM) International Union said an overwhelming majority of workers had voted down the five-year offer.

Kellogg's said they will move forward with plans to start hiring permanent replacement workers.

The strike began Oct. 5 at the plants in Battle Creek, Omaha, Lancaster and Memphis. 

The union that represents the 1,400 workers released the results of the vote, saying it was rejected by the majority.

The five-year contract would have given workers a 3% raise, a cost-of-living pay increase in the later years of the deal and would have preserved workers' health benefits.
