I know that most of you will soon begin choosing your candies for all of the upcoming holidays. With that in mind, I would like to ask you to boycott Hershey’s Chocolate and Hershey’s Foods products. Starting almost two years ago the Hershey’s Corporation had shut down several non-union plants in Hershey, Pennsylvania as well as Canada. The company is outsourcing all the production to Monterrey, Mexico; hoping to shut down the remaining US/Canadian plants entirely. Hershey’s has been met with some insurgence from the Chocolate Workers union and several local public boycotts, however, this has not delayed business plans of relocation.
Over 1,500 jobs gone off to our southern neighbors who will work for 15 cents an hour.
We used to be the manufacturing center of the world, but now Americans can't even make chocolate.
Don't buy into it.
Don't buy Hershey's.
