A tall, cold glass of milk. A package of chocolaty Oreos…no longer in my immediate future. My conscience won’t allow me. Here’s what’s happening:
Irene Rosenfeld, the CEO of Mondelez, the parent company, makes over $21 million a year (she got a $6 million raise in 2014 and has received $170 million in compensation over the last eight years). But she insisted on a 60% cut in pay and benefits for Chicago workers to save money for the company. The executives said No, so she cut all those jobs, outsourcing the jobs of 600 workers.
That’s a lot of emotional and financial stress on 600 families, as well as their community.
If this bothers you, go to Jobs with Justice and sign their petition.
And boycott the company’s products until they make things right.
