Workers at the Frito-Lay chip plant in Topeka, Kansas, have been on strike since July 5. Forced overtime is a major issue, with some workers saying they ve been forced to work 12-hour days, seven days a week for weeks on end. Photo: Topeka Frito-Lay Union Members Appreciation Page
But frustrations over forced OT aren’t limited to Topeka. Below, we publish a letter from the wife of a Frito-Lay warehouse worker at another of the company’s 30 U.S. manufacturing facilities, who said she feels like a “single, married mom” because of the way the snackmaker’s abuse of mandatory overtime has upended her family life. (We are publishing the letter anonymously at her request.)
