Donny Deeren sits at the picket line outside of the Kellogg's plant during the BCTGM International Union labor strike on Friday, Dec. 17, 2021 in Battle Creek, Mich. Deeren cited working conditions as one of reasons for the strike; because of a repeated pattern of "shift cycling", workers will often be scheduled 16 hours in a row without overtime, and as much as three times a week.

Cheryl poses for a portrait in front of her house on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024 in Falmouth, Mich.
