Strikers on the picket line at the Frito-Lay Topeka site during the third week of their strike
AROUND 600 Frito-Lay workers in Topeka, Kansas, have been on strike for over three weeks, since Monday 5th July, against low pay and forced overtime and 84-hour working weeks.
The strike was said to have started after an employee collapsed and died on the factory floor and instead of stopping the line, co-workers reportedly had to help remove the body so another person could step in.
Members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM) Local 218 voted 353 to 30 to approve a strike.

Get Ready to Pay More, Say CEOs of These 6 Major Companies
These corporations are warning that price hikes are coming or already have arrived.

Recently, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged that price increases are likely to continue for the next several months.

Lincoln elevators deteriorate as neighborhood grows

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) He’s had trouble at the top of the grain elevator before.
Last month, it was fresh graffiti more than 80 feet up, numbers and letters spray-painted so tall, broad and bright they could be seen from several blocks away.
But more than 40 years ago, when James Woolsoncroft bought the elevator on the edge of the Haymarket, it was the roof itself. The previous owner had let it fail, and rainwater had seeped into the silos, ruining the corn.
Woolsoncroft knew the property needed work. But he also considered it the Cadillac of grain elevators: A dozen concrete bins on the north side, 80 feet tall and 24 feet across with 7-inch steel-reinforced walls; and six smaller bins to the south.
