On February 15th, the Hershey Company announced that they would be laying off workers, scaling back production lines, and moving some manufacturing to Mexico. Employees were told that as many as 3,000 people would be losing their jobs! Perhaps the biggest tragedy is that Hershey Company would be abandoning the legacy of their founder, the great Milton S. Hershey. Milton Hershey built a successful business on the principles of hard work, ethical business practices, and the idea that a company's greatest resource was its employees. Even during the Great Depression, instead of laying off workers, Milton Hershey found building projects to put people to work at.
We want to save the 3,000 jobs at risk! How can we do it? We have a petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/kissesforhershey/ and we'll send a kiss to Hershey's CEO for every person who signs it. There is more information at http://www.kissesforhershey.com
What else can we do? Hurry, we need help soon!
