    ...after the company announced it would permanently replace striking workers

    THE ERS.

    A TikToker shared code he said would spam the Kellogg website with fake job applications.

    Kellogg has advertised for workers to permanently replace those on strike amid a dispute.

    Reddit users started a campaign to send the company bogus applications.

    An activist on TikTok posted code online meant to flood the Kellogg website with fake job applications in protest against the company's decision to permanently replace striking workers.

    Kellogg announced on Wednesday that it would replace almost 1,400 unionized workers after the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers union rejected a pay deal. The workers have been on strike since October over what they say is unfair pay and benefits.

    "The prolonged work stoppage has left us no choice but to continue executing the next phase of our contingency plan, including hiring replacement employees in positions vacated by striking workers," Kellogg's press release said.

    The company advertised for the permanent replacements at four production sites: in Omaha, Nebraska; Battle Creek, Michigan; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Memphis, Tennessee.

    The advertisements directly cited the dispute: "The Unions representing Kellogg employees in these plants are on strike, and we are looking for employees to permanently replace them, joining hundreds of Kellogg salaried employees, hourly employees, and contractors to keep the lines running."

    Earlier job adverts for temporary workers encouraged applicants to "cross the picket line" to join the company.

    People on the popular subreddit r/antiwork took up the workers' cause on Thursday.

    A user with the handle BloominFunions posted links to the four job applications and encouraged the subreddit's 1.3 million-strong membership to individually submit fake applications, or as they put it, "clog their toilet of an application pipeline."

    Kris Bahner, a Kellogg spokesperson, told Insider on Friday that the company's online hiring process was "fully operational," and that there had been strong interest in the roles at all four sites. New hires, he said, were expected to start "very soon."

    Kellogg "don't even hide the fact that they're hiring scabs," user BloominFunions wrote, using a dismissive term for workers who ignore strikes. The post had been upvoted 62,000 times at the time of writing.

    After that, the activist and developer Sean Black, who uses the handle black_madness21 on TikTok, told his followers how he'd made the application process even easier.

    "Apparently Kellogg are planning to replace workers who are fighting for better workplace conditions and better pay," Black said. He added, "You know what I had to do."

    Demonstrating the code in process, Black said it automatically creates an account, fills in all personal details, and uploads a résumé on the company's site. "Not bad for a day's work, I'd say," he said.

    It's not the first time Black has used this tactic. In September, he made similar code to help activists flood a website set up by the anti-abortion group Texas Right to Life.

    The website encouraged people to submit tips about those who broke the newly enacted law known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, which drastically reduced abortion access. The effort prompted people on social-media platforms to encourage the submission of fake tips to overwhelm the site.

    Kellogg reaches another tentative deal with striking workers, union president says

    Progress has been made on the key issues from the last agreement, including cost of living wage adjustments for all employees and the removal of the term “legacy employee,” the union said.

    “Transitional employees have an accelerated, defined path to legacy wages and benefits as compared to the current contract,” Kellogg said.

    Dan Osborn, president of the local union in Omaha, said voting on the new deal would be held on Sunday and votes would be counted on Tuesday.

    “If ratified we would return to work on Dec. 27,” he said.

    But there has been no progress on some fronts, including the cap on the number of lower-tier employees, the union said.

    Striking workers have said a two-tier employee system proposed by Kellogg, in which transitional employees get lesser pay and benefits compared with longer-tenured workers, would reduce the union’s power by removing the cap on lower-tier employee numbers.

    Sure thing.
    When asked to decide whether Police Union demands in San Antonio, which the Union itself and officers thought should be changed, the red team here tied this issue to DEFUND THE POLICE and swallowed it hole. This issue had been around a lot longer than "defund the police" even existed.

    such bull ... The red team will also bend to union demands. Also look at the AMA for doctors. Its their union. And there are more.

    URI vaccines good for immune system = fake science
    baby is not viable until it is fully developed and born = fake science
    human caused global warming is going to destroy Earth's ecosystem by 2050 = fake science
    big pharma = corporatocracy = fake science

    Covid is just another cold like URI virus = real science
    baby is viable outside the womb after 5 months = real science
    Anthropogenic global warming is very marginal and very reversible over time given technological advancements = real science


    The left does not support science "Vastly" more than the right. Both have flaws. The religion thing is false science, true, but, like Kamala affirmed in the VP debate last fall, Joe/Kamala and the Democratic party are "people of faith" as well.

    Not folding at all. I was merely pointing out that they are all either strawmen, or myths.

    Happy to dissect any of them.

    The problem with that though is that MM runs away from his troll grenades, so I view it as not worth the effort.

    Just for you, pick one and I will offer you a late Saturnalia present and go for it.
