Nabisco Owner Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter to Bakers’ Union Pledging Legal Action

Mondelez, parent of Nabisco, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the BCTGM union on Aug. 31 warning of legal action over strikers interfering with operations at its Portland bakery.

On Sept. 2, police removed strikers from railroad-side property where they had blocked supply trains.

WHY IT MATTERS

A prolonged Nabisco bakery strike and blocked rail deliveries could disrupt flour and sugar intake for a major snack maker, but the effect on feed commodity prices is marginal.
