Executives from the state s labor federation turned out Wednesday for the third picket outside Topeka s Frito-Lay plant this year.
The protest, which drew executives from Kansas AFL-CIO and other local labor leaders, is likely the last picket union members at Topeka s Frito-Lay plant will hold before taking a vote on whether to accept or reject a recent contract proposal made by the company.
If the contract offer doesn t pass, local union members may vote to strike. We re here to support them, said John Nave, executive vice president of Kansas AFL-CIO. These brothers and sisters out here have been dedicated to a company over the years that hasn t treated them well at all. . They carry that company on their backs, and they deserve to be treated fairly at the negotiation table.
