Remember This: Kellogg execs absolutely sure: "We are going to get away with it"..like Trump

Couldn't care less about the 1400 people who are losing their jobs.

And this is the bottom line: "Profits".......................

The symbol for Kellogg stock...is "K"...current price $63.00 a share..

Monday will be a bad day for the stock.. I wonder if the execs knew what the consequences would be..
...Loss of 25% of business is a whole lot of business....

I will never buy any of those products again...Never!

Just disgusting what they did to their workers (and families!!) during the holiday season. Any season for that matter.

For those of you unaware, DisneyWorld replaced all their IT staff with temp workers, H1B visa holders...and as a condition of getting ANY severence pay the employees had to train their own replacements.

I have boycotted Disney products since then in solidarity with my brother/sister IT staffers.

The average consumer doesn't purchase based on labor policies.

The average consumer isn't in tune with the labor movement and doesn't engage in sympathy boycotts.

So that's $4 less for Kellogg's. If enough of us do that, it will make a difference.
