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. &nb sp;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 Cup s 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   BXXXXXXS  ...you are ruining the name, the company, and MANY lives in central Pennsy lvania....

   read on...Enough is Enough!

    So Hershey executives are closing plants in the US ,laying off over a 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 $170 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 b and 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!!

I'm glad i know how to make my own.My girl used to make these for a small profit...same thing but tastes much,much better.At fraction of the cost.It really ain't hard.

I am saddened by this news and will no longer purchase Hershey products if they are made in Mexico.

I don't know if Hershey's tax bill is fair or not and if they are moving to avoid paying their fair share, that is just wrong. However, our government must understand that they cannot continue huge spending bills

and trying to pay for them on the backs of business (or individuals, for that matter). PA has long been

"anti-business" with their taxes and regulations. I would have preferred if Hershey had moved to another more business friendly state.  Maybe they couldn't find one.

First off: HERSEY had a 10 year NO TAX agreement with Hazleton at their HUMBOLT INDUSTRIAL PARK, through a develpment Co known as CAN-DO They have a deal with the state to bring in Corporations to this park as a declared PENZONE, with huge incentives. Hersey stayed a little over 10 years and booked. Anyone surprised by this is naievee at best. Thats what big money does, expolit a situation for the biggest return for thier stock holders

Secondly: I do not understnad the sentiment of people who want to keep our Mexican neighbors out of the country. Everyone has been screaming about illegals and such. So now a company is moving to Mexico, and our southern neighbors can get some jobs and incentives to stay in their country and prospeer, and we say No to that also. Can't have it both ways, if Hazleton expoloited the needs of Hersey to keep their profit margin, by nixing taxes and providing a reasonably priced labor force, why can't Mexico do the same. If nad when Hersey finds a better deal, in a different market , they will move from there too. FREE MARKET PLACE!!

so if we dont want illegals here we should let american companies support them in mexico ::)

IF they are in Mexico THEY ARE LEGALS THERE.

Seriously: Hersey sells products in Mexico. Not all in the form of candy, some in baby forumla etc. I do not see anything wrong with people getting a chance to support their families. I do not know how manyof us, who have a needs met and then some, are going to be wuilling to do with a little less so that world wide poverty will be lessend. I for one am willing to make those sacrifices.

I lost 4 jobs in TX due to the company moving to mexico... :-/

I have mix feelings about this.With unemployment so high you'd think we really don't need to lose anymore jobs.We need to worry about ourselves here and not other Countrys.

PS i need a no tax agreement....must be nice. ::)
