Air America on Carlos Gutierrez, Bush's choice for new Commerce Secy
On "Unfiltered"...they just said that four months after becoming CEO of Kellog's, Gutierrez shut down the main Corn Flakes plant in Battle Creek, putting 550 people out of work.

Sounds like he will FIT RIGHT IN with the Bush administration.

:grr:

2. It's their tried but true answer to increase profits.
Cut out the workers. Gives them a nice 43% increase in profits and I substantial bonus chunk for the CEO's

4. Outsourced
And guess what folks I was one of the 550 who lost there job.
Kelloggs was at one time the best conpany to work for in Battle Creek, MI. not anymore. They could give a shit about there employes anymore. It is all about bottom line and greed now.
Yes he will fit in nicely with the Bushies misadminstration.
And yes it is still a sore subjest with me and I do not buy any Kelloggs products.
