An interesting article about everyone's favorite Hershey's:
I just got this info from a friend, Vicki, who's sister and Dad works there....for now...
This is sad!!! I love all of the Hershey products. What a waste!!! This is true. They are leaving and closing the Pennsylvania plant. Say goodbye to Hershey's. They are even closing down Hershey Canada.
A sad story for those of us who remember growing up with Hershey bars and just as sad for the generations of today. What will become outsourced next? US?
Pennsylvania is a big state, but it amazes me in this day and age how some news doesn't make it over the mountain to the front page of our papers or the top of our news hours in Western Pennsylvania. You may not know that Vicki's Dad makes Hershey's Kisses for a living, so this hits home for us.
Milton Hershey, this year will be joining H. J. Heinz in rolling over in his grave. Hershey's Chocolate is moving to MEXICO....whoopee! I am not buying any more Hershey products, A lot of the Hershey products are my favorite things. I have decided not to buy their products anymore. I no longer buy anything with Heinz on the label, moving everything out of the country I don't want a penny of my money going to them.
M.S. Hershey had a dream...”I will buy my own sugar, milk, cocoa beans (all natural ingredeients) and make my own candy....no tariffs etc”. Even during the depression he and the and the company made money with the product M.S. created. Now some corporate big wigs are ruining his name and the product he created. What a bunch of college educated “idiots”.
Thank you M.S. For all of the products and things you have created and done for me and my family. I do appreciate it. As for B. “Dick” Lenny and Company good luck you greedy, money loving BASTARDS you are ruining the name, the company and MANY lives in central Pennsylvania.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
So Hershey executives are closing the plants in the U.S and Canada, laying off thousands of people and destroying Mr. Hershey's dream, all to cut labor, material costs and AVOID PAYING ANY TAXES TO THE U.S!
The company will save about $170 million a year on the backs of the American people. The top executives will still make their MEGA BUCKS and the laid off workers will have to find other jobs. Some probably at minimum wage due to their age. All of this to take their jobs to India, China and MEXICO. So WHAT part of the “GREAT AMERICAN CHOCOLATE BAR” is left? NOTHING!
These countries are no doubt laughing at the Americans, who they don't like anyway. How long are the American people going to sit around and let big corporations do this to us? We all have to band together and let our politicians in Washington know we have had it with “NAFTA, CAFTA and SHAFTA” and we will not take it any longer. Please do not buy any Hershey product. I have pulled every dime of my stock, retirement and my HEART out of Hershey. As much as it hurts me to do that, I have to say if the company wants to take the work to these countries, then let those countries buy their product. We don't need it. BOYCOTT HERSHEY!!
Me...
I happen to agree with the boycotting of companies that are taking their business out of America to other countries. That is what happened to my job a couple of years ago. That was with a telecomm company. That is why you can't understand what is said or get anything done when you call or email them. All most everything that was moved to India and now they can't handle the volumn so it was moved to MEXICO. Most of the outsourcing with us was due to IBM being hired to redue the business plan. They had no idea what our business was nor did they care. It's all smoke and mirrors and like the article above they do not care. It's all numbers to them. Humans do not count. IBM moved all of their business out years ago. You can take a system and disect it, find the problem, fix it, put the system back together or track a bad switch in a junction in the middle of nowhere and send some one out to fix it or just throw it back on and everything will work. But if you don't have a piece of paper then it doesn't count. So some little twit with paper can look at something and have a nervous break down because they have no idea what they are looking at or how to correct it, but that is ok. It will just be pushed off on to someone else to handle and so on and so on. What makes me laugh now is these choices are made by the very young that have just gotten out of college, but they have a piece of paper. Wow. They haven't figured out how to change their diapers yet but they a piece of paper and know everything.
I get a small satisfaction of not buy the products that take their business to other country's or company's like Ben & Jerry's who hate America and support the left wing loon's. Where would B&J's be with out America? Even the left loon movie makers that hate America, I don't need to see their movies or their TV shows. I will not buy Heinz either, I refuse to think that a penny of my money is going in to Kerry's pocket. It may sound silly but it makes me feel better. I guess it's the getting older thing. I know that here at least the Citgo stations are dying. A lot of the 7 / 11's are changing their signs to the 7 / 11 gas signs because no one will buy their gas because it is Citgo. I guess changing the sign will fool everyone. I wouldn't put Citgo gas in my car if it was free.
Anyway, if all of these jobs are going to MEXICO why are they coming here for jobs? Most of our jobs are going there. So I guess I could go to MEXICO to get my job back. I don't think so. So I will muttle along and not use products or services that have been taken out of America and use only the ones that are here and support America. It may not be much but it makes me happy to not give my money to the people that are already here living for free on our dime and sending the money back to MEXICO. I do have a problem with this. Since things are going to get worse anyway might as well start making my adjustments now. By the way Hasbro is the only toy company that hasn't had to recall anything so far. Guess where their products are made?
