1. Cool! Thanks for this link -

Was unaware, but thanks!

2. Recommend...still zero though. I guess someone is against fair wages

for workers, and for exploitation in shipping American jobs overseas.

3. fair trade is so very important!

I don't buy Hershey's and maybe many don't but it is good to send a message

4. Tell Hershey to go F themselves.

I haven't bought a Hershey product since they shuttered their Oakdale factory and moved to Mexico.

5. I'll never buy Hershey's again

They closed down our local plant in Ontario two years ago and moved it to Mexico, throwing hundreds out of work.

Unemployment got so bad, Walmart opened up a store in the town.

7. I remember a time when Hershey's slogan was, "The great American chocolate bar".

6. Working to end child labor is huge. I always wish, though that people would give this much

attention and support to the people who make the chocolate, too. Many Hershey jobs, strong union jobs, were outsourced to Mexico over the past few years. I see it a lot and I find it annoying.
