The Great American Chocolate Bar is DEAD!!!

It started in Oakdale, California, where Hershey is the town's biggest employer. Every job GONE! Then came thousands of jobs in other areas, including the company's headquarters in Pennsylvania.

SAY GOODBYE
HERSHEY

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 be

outsourced next?

Pennsylvania is a big state, but it amazes me in
this day, 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.

Milton Hershey, this year, will be joining H. J Heinz

in rolling over in his grave. Hershey Chocolate is

moving to MEXICO...whoopee! They're even closing

down Hershey Canada. Don't buy any more Hershey

Bars. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite and

they are made by Hershey. But, I will not purchase

Another one!

M.S. Hershey had a dream... I will buy my OWN Sugar,
Milk, Cocoa beans, (all natural mind you!) and make candy...

(no tariffs etc..) EVEN during the depression...HE and the

Company made money...NOW some Corporate big wigs are

ruining the name... AND the product M.S. created... Please

pass it on...What a bunch of college educated "idiots".

Thank you M.S. Hershey for all the things I have and all you have

done for me and my family..."I" do appreciate it... as for

"Dick" Lenny and Company...good luck you greedy, money

loving BAS***DS...you are ruining the name, the company,

and MANY lives in central Pennsylvania.... read on...

Enough is Enough!

So Hershey executives are closing plants in the US ,
laying off over three thousand people, and destroying

Mr. Hershey's dream, all to cut labor, material costs
and AVOID PAYING ANY US TAXES!

The company will save about $190 million a year,
all 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 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 must all band together and let our Politicians
in Washington know we have had it with NAFTA, CAFTA
and "SHAFTA" and we won't take it any longer!

Please, do not buy any Hershey product! If the company wants to take

the work to these countries, then let those countries buy the

product. We don't need it!

BOYCOTT HERSHEY!!

Please pass this to everyone on your email list so it gets all across the United States.

Hard to find work up here. Maybe I should go to the candy bar factory in Mexico. Do you think the Mexicans will give me a driver's liscence if I sneak across their border (like George does in the US)? Will the Mexicans post signs in English around the factory for me to read?

Globalization has ripped the heart out of many a small community, people have the power to change things by voting with the wallets but they never do.
Complacency is glottalization's best friend.
