Voices from the Frito-Lay picket line in Topeka
b'Since July 5, more than 500 workers on strike have been posted across from a Frito-Lay plant in Topeka demanding higher wages and more limited hours.\\n\\nUnion members rejected a contract offer from Frito-Lay with an annual 2% wage increase because for many workers that would be less than 50 cents per hour. Additionally, many employees are subjected to forced overtime and work up to 84-hour weeks because of worker shortages.\\n\\nWe visit the picket line on this Kansas Reflector podcast to speak with the workers before planned negotiations on July 19.'
