CHICAGO—"We're just tired!" April Flowers-Lewis told a rally in support of striking Mondelez workers. It's not hard to see why the folks who make the nation's cookies and crackers are exhausted and fed up.All through the pandemic, Flowers-Lewis, 48, and her co-workers, members of Bakery and Confectionary Workers Local 1, have been on their feet up to seven days a week, 16 hours a day baking and packing Wheat Thins, Chips Ahoy, Nutter Butter, Velveeta, and Animal Crackers here at what was the historic Nabisco plant on this city's southwest side.
